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.
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.
