The recent Starlink satellite incident reveals new challenges in space, and its repeated fragmentations demand urgent responses to protect future missions and ensure global technological safety.
He studied physics at the Faculty of Sciences of the UNAM and later the postgraduate degree in astrophysics at the Institute of Astronomy also of the UNAM, where he obtained the degree of Master of Science. The last degree he obtained was a doctoral candidate in astrophysics.
Since 2009 he has participated in outreach work within the framework of “Noche de las Estrellas” (Stars Night) and in 2013 he founded the “Astrofísicos en Acción” (Astrophysics in Action) company, a company for the public appropriation of science, where multimedia content is generated on social networks as well as scientific consulting. He had the opportunity to help write a Federal Law initiative for the protection of dark skies. He has participated by writing some articles for various blogs such as “Planeteando”.
He currently collaborates, writing science segments for Radio IPN in its "Ciencia en Corto” (Short Science) section.
He also runs a non-profit astronomy project called Astrofisicos.org that shares activities from astronomy groups and shares topics related to astronomy education.

Astronomical photographs from the 1950s revealed unexplained flashes before the space age. Were they unknown objects in orbit or simply artifacts? Here we analyze the supposed mystery surrounding these objects.
NASA is preparing its return to the Moon with a strategic shift, more infrastructure and reusable technology, as well as the goal of learning how to live beyond the planet.
Ganymede stands out in our solar system as the largest moon, even surpassing planets like Mercury, and for harboring a saltwater ocean beneath its icy crust.
A recent study suggests that searching for unusually cold stars could reveal alien megastructures. The key lies in detecting the residual heat these civilizations would emit when harnessing vast amounts of stellar energy.
A team of astrophysicists has detected a strange distortion in the plane of the Kuiper Belt, suggesting that an invisible planet may be lurking in the cold depths of our solar system.
Venus, our closest neighbor, is a stark reminder of the dangers of global warming. Its extreme climate shows us how a habitable world can transform into an inferno.
Although the DART mission to deflect an asteroid was a success, experts warn that the lack of early detection poses critical challenges for planetary defense.
The speed of light changed our way of understanding the universe: from the ether to Einstein, from just around the corner to light-years away.
Scientists have discovered a system with four planets that defy traditional rules of stellar formation. The finding reveals rocky worlds born without gas, transforming our understanding of planetary formation.
Have you ever tuned into an empty channel on your old television and seen static? That eerie noise contains ancient photons that reveal the violent birth of our Universe.
Despite its extreme temperatures and inhospitable surface, Venus holds fascinating secrets. Recent studies of its clouds suggest that life could find an unexpected refuge there
Around Earth, there is an invisible region where energetic particles are trapped by the magnetic field—a natural shield that is essential for life and space exploration.
Why doesn’t the night sky appear as a blanket of bright light? It all has to do with cosmic expansion and the finite lifetimes of the most distant stars.
The Swarm mission reveals the existence of space hurricanes, enormous polar plasma vortices capable of disrupting satellite signals and generating intense geomagnetic disturbances during periods of apparent solar calm.
Durante siglos, contemplamos la oscuridad del firmamento nocturno, pero investigaciones recientes revelan que, si sumamos toda la luz estelar, el Universo posee un tono que nos recuerda a algo delicioso.
Is there a turtle holding four elephants on which the Earth rests? Or perhaps it is a huge Titan carrying the entire planet on his shoulders? Here we explain it.
This 2026 will be an unforgettable year for observing the sky, highlighted by total eclipses, blood moons, and historic space missions that will allow us to connect deeply with the universe.
This theoretical spherical region, which envelops the entire Solar System at astonishing distances, is the vast reservoir of billions of long-period comets.
Recent research suggests that powerful stellar explosions bathe star systems in radioactive building blocks, allowing dry, rocky planets like Earth to be extremely common today.
