The Madrid space organizes free access to educational conferences with the help of expert astronomers on its YouTube channel

Knowing the secrets of the Universe is now a little easier thanks to an initiative, free and online, that the Planetarium of Madrid has prepared. On its YouTube channel, this institution that until recently brought families and schools together through exhibitions and talks has organized several master classes led by astronomers and scientific disseminators who try to bring part of their work closer to the public.

On Wednesday 15, at 6:00 p.m., Magdalena Hernán will delve into the subject of exoplanets with In Search of Other Worlds : she will explain how planets that orbit around a star other than the Sun and that, therefore, do not belong to the System Solar. To make it more interactive, a live chat will be available for viewers to comment on. It is not necessary to be registered, since it is freely accessible.

On Friday 17, at 6:00 p.m., astrophysicist Telmo Fernández will comment on the Theory of Relativity, in a simple way, at the Einstein conference , Relativity and his vision of the Cosmos . As indicated by the speaker, current director of the Madrid Planetarium, with it he tries to deepen "the concept of gravity, which is the force that dominates the entire universe, to understand it from another point of view".
