About the ‘bitácora’

The site was created with the intention of disclosing the astronomical knowledge that, still scarce, I am slowly gaining, with effort and enthusiasm, and make them available to people who approach this exciting world. The scientific training that we are getting only acquires its full meaning when shared.

However, I do it only because I am convinced that the man will take a long time (except in the proximity of very few places on Earth and the Moon) to put their destructive hands on the wonders of which we speak, and destroy so much beauty as there is up there. If there was even the slightest possibility, I’m sure we would not hesitate in doing so shattered and then I would put all possible obstacles, silencing as much as I could.
