Did you know that some of the best locations for studying the cosmos are in Latin America? From centuries-old solar observatories in Mexico to cutting-edge radio telescopes in the Andes, the region is home to some of the most exciting astronomical discoveries and space research.
Science Friday is proud to announce a collaboration with El País: América Futura on a 7-week newsletter about astronomy and space science from Latin America.
