The giant planet WD 1856 b, which survived a dead star, offers clues about atmospheres, orbital migration, and the distant future of our Solar System and its outer planets.
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.

Minerals analysed by Curiosity reveal that Mars preserved warm groundwater for millions of years, expanding the debate over the planet's climate, habitability and the possible existence of life beneath its surface.
The mysterious dark matter and the reason particles are distributed so uniformly throughout the universe could be explained by a hypothetical particle known as the axion.
A region surrounding rotating black holes where space and time twist in such a way that we could extract almost infinite energy. Details in this report.
One of the most spectacular events in the Universe, Type Ia supernovae have helped us determine that the Universe is expanding at an accelerating rate and have also led to the definition of another concept: dark energy.
China launched the Shenzhou 23 mission to the Tiangong space station, where one astronaut will spend a year. The mission is also part of the country's effort to unify its space programs as it pushes ahead in the new race to the Moon.
For decades, certain periodic radio signals puzzled astronomers. Today we know that some of them originate from white dwarfs that steal matter from companion stars, generating strange and extreme emissions.
Thanks to observations from the James Webb Space Telescope, a team of researchers was able to directly determine the mass of a supermassive black hole in the early universe, something never accomplished before.
The recent military declassification of aerial phenomena has sparked the imagination, yet the Universe itself imposes physical limits that challenge any attempt to cross the stars and reach our planet.
Thanks to the Voyager missions, we now understand how the solar wind slows down, changes, and ultimately gives way to the interstellar medium, marking the boundary of the Sun’s domain.
NASA successfully tested rotors capable of exceeding Mach 1 under simulated Martian conditions, a major breakthrough toward developing larger aircraft that could expand aerial exploration on Mars.

We have all noticed how the Moon looks enormous when it rises over the horizon. However, this phenomenon is a fascinating illusion created by our own mind.
Although Venus’s surface is a toxic hellscape, its mysterious temperate clouds could hide extraterrestrial microorganisms originating from a distant past with a common origin shared with Earth.
Beneath an immense shell of ice, Europa hides a global ocean. An incredible space mission is speeding through the solar system seeking to answer our greatest question: could it harbor extraterrestrial life?
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.
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.
