In the program “Fet a Mida” of last October 18, the researcher of the Institute of Cosmos Sciences of the UB, Josep Manel Carrasco, talks about what the day-to-day life of an astronomer is like today and he shares with us his experience in the Roque de los Muchachos observatory in La Palma (Canary Islands).
