For another year, the nights of June, July, August and early September have been made a little more enjoyable thanks to the chance to dine with the stars offered by Barcelona’s Fabra Observatory in an outreach activity that combines scientific and astronomical observations with a one-of-a-kind dining experience

"If it was a discipline starved of data, astrophysics has come to be flooded with them", said Peter Nugent a few days ago, co-founder of the Centre for Computational Cosmology of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, United States. "And that is fundamentally changing the nature of research and discovery. In the next decade, in only a few years we'll get more data than over four millennia of astronomy".

The first post of Donald Saari, as a mathematician, was at the astronomy department of the University of Yale (United States). There he demonstrated that "all possible universes" had to evolve in a way that the big galaxy groups increasingly distanced themselves from each other. This ambitious result comes from someone convinced that mathematics "are very powerful", so much that they can also be applied to human behaviour: Saari currently directs the Institute of Mathematics and Behavioural Science at the University of California. His efforts in discovering what the best election system is, is another surprising fact in his curriculum. Saari has participated in the congress of Mathematics and Astronomy: A Joint Long Journey, recently held in Madrid.
