About US

A community-driven company

Light Bridges is a private research institution established in the Canary Islands, one of the best astronomical locations in the world. As such, our activity is focused around observational astronomy and data management. Our vision is advancing scientific knowledge while promoting both environmental and financial sustainability.

We manage the newest robotic telescopes in the Teide Observatory —part of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC)— alongside Astronomy High-Performance Computing Centers.

Our mission

Shared world-class scientific infrastructures.

Our main goal is to simplify science. We make it easier for astronomers and research groups to observe their targets. We democratize access to world-class scientific facilities, enabling countries and institutions to access professional observations for a fraction of the cost and without lengthy, costly procedures.

Science projects

For Spanish astronomers

The TTT telescopes are included in the Spanish CAT (comité de asignación de tiempo). International researchers can apply with collaboration of Light Bridges in the proposal.

Spanish CAT

For research institutions

Light Bridges conducts annual scientific research projects spanning a broad range of topics in Astronomy and Space. These projects rely on collaboration with other astronomers for data analysis and the publication of scientific results.

For students and early careers

Light Bridges manages its own competitive time allocation, free of cost, for students and young professionals. It is called the Observing Time Endowment.
