Astronomers have discovered that super-Earths orbit not only close to their stars, but also at great distances, expanding our expectations about habitable worlds beyond the solar system.
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.

A magnetic field at the south pole of Mars has puzzled scientists. A new model with a liquid core and thermal differences offers the most convincing explanation to date.
The Soyuz docking is crucial for the arrival of new astronauts and the supply of equipment for the station, and the aurora occurs at that time.
A study suggests that the moon Titan could harbor glycine-fermenting microbial life in its subsurface ocean, albeit in extremely small quantities.
A recent discovery by the Curiosity rover has excited the scientific community, as it has identified the largest organic molecules ever detected on the red planet.
From above, the European Space Agency probe offers us a stunning view of Mars, revealing a world divided into two radically different halves.
Fractures on the surfaces of Earth, Mars, and Europa follow revealing geometric patterns; studying them could provide clues to geological history and the past presence of water.
In March, major astronomical events will occur, such as the equinox, a total lunar eclipse that will be visible in America, and the disappearance of Saturn's rings.
Using a laser ablation technique, NASA aims to study gypsum deposits on Mars in search of ancient bacterial life. The device aims to search for gypsum deposits that may have preserved signs of ancient life.
The event, dubbed XRT 200515, remained hidden for years until an innovative machine learning technique allowed it to be identified, sparking the curiosity of the astronomical community.
Until very recently, astronomers believed they had detected two supernovae, when it was probably a very different phenomenon: a luminous blue variable.
It was identified using X-rays and is the largest structure discovered to date, containing around 30% of the galaxies and 25% of the matter in the universe.
The asteroid known as 2024 YR4 has a 97.9% chance of passing safely near Earth in 2032, according to NASA scientists, but countries would be at greater risk if it were to collide.
The Webb telescope will study the asteroid in infrared light to provide a much more precise estimate of its size and orbit, as it will not be visible until 2028.
NASA and ESA are seeking to coordinate efforts to keep the asteroid, which has a 2.3% chance of hitting Earth in 2032, under close surveillance, in case it is necessary, in order to act immediately.
Space weather is known as the conditions and events that can affect the Earth and its environment, being a consequence of the behavior of the Sun, the magnetic field and the Earth's atmosphere.
NASA has been working on projects that transform space data into music, allowing us to experience the cosmos in a whole new way.
This discovery is crucial because it helps us understand the history of water on Mars and its potential to have supported life, and it gives us a complete picture of this region within rocky outcrops.
Can we detect alien civilizations by their industrial pollution? Scientists offer several hypotheses
The search for advanced civilizations in the Universe has captured our imagination for decades, and the detection of certain chemicals in the atmospheres of exoplanets would have implications for the search for intelligent life.
Discover the astronomical phenomenon that has fascinated humanity for centuries. Its name comes from the indigenous cultures of North America, who observed how wolves howled during the cold January nights.
