Observatorio del IPA<p>El Observatorio Astronómico del IPA tiene el agrado de invitarles a esta charla magistral a cargo del astrónomo Lic. Julio A. Fernandez y organizada por los colegas profesores de Epistemología del IPA. A continuación el resumen de la actividad</p><p>En el marco del ciclo de clases abiertas de los cursos de Epistemología y Filosofía de la Educación, invitamos a participar de la actividad "El cielo y la memoria", a cargo del astrónomo y profesor Julio Ángel Fernández Alves.</p><p>Julio Ángel Fernández es licenciado en Astronomía por la Facultad de Humanidades y Ciencias de la Universidad de la República. Realizó investigaciones en el Observatorio Astronómico de Madrid y en el Instituto Max-Planck de Aeronomía de Alemania, y fue profesor visitante en el Observatorio de Valongo de la Universidad Federal de Río de Janeiro. Fue decano de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Universidad de la República y es investigador nivel III del Sistema Nacional de Investigadores de Uruguay. En 2006, durante el congreso de la Unión Astronómica Internacional en Praga, propuso la nueva definición de planeta que dejó a Plutón fuera de esa categoría. En 2016, fue incorporado a la Academia Nacional de Ciencias de los Estados Unidos.</p><p>Es autor del libro En Plutón y otras anécdotas.

Jerry D. Harris 🦕👣<p>Intrusive contact between the sedimentary, Eocene Claron Formation below and the quartz-monzonite Pine Valley Mountains laccolith above. The Pine Valley laccolith is the world's largest example of such a pluton. Around 21 million years ago, magma intruded within the Claron Formation at a depth of about 200 m, shallower than is typical for a laccolith, allowing the magma to spread far laterally and dome up higher than normal. <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/geology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>geology</span></a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/geoscience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>geoscience</span></a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/igneous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>igneous</span></a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/Utah" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Utah</span></a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/pluton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pluton</span></a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/laccolith" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>laccolith</span></a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/naturalhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>naturalhistory</span></a></p>
