Austrinus It is the astronomy site of Farid Char.
This space was inaugurated on 11/25/2000 and its name means “austral” or “from the south” in Latin.
This name serves to better identify the origin of its contents, created from the Southern Hemisphere: 23°39' S and 70°25' W (Antofagasta, Chile).
In astronomy, the name is present in the constellation Pisces Austrinus.

Below you will find observational experiments that do not require optical instrumentation, to be practiced at night. Some require few observation and monitoring sessions to become aware, others merit continuous recording. The exercises are designed to simulate the total absence of astronomical knowledge, with the aim of demonstrating that it is possible to identify phenomena of this nature using…

Cosmology corresponds to the study of the origin, structure and laws of the Universe as we know it, describing its nature. Its scope covers both the composition of the Universe, its expansion and laws that compose it, as well as the search for a theory that manages to unify physics and the 4 fundamental forces: weak nuclear interaction, strong nuclear interaction, gravity...
Star clusters (although there are also galaxies) are stellar groupings linked by gravity, smaller than a galaxy, but robust enough as a structure. In this sense, there are larger and smaller star clusters, as well as different arrangements of their components. They are divided into open clusters and globular clusters; The first ones present a structure…
At a quick glance at the starry sky, the planets are practically indistinguishable from the stars, however, the planets visible to the naked eye are very bright stars and, therefore, their location is relatively easy when you know where to look for them. The planets are easy to distinguish because their light almost does not twinkle, on the contrary...

Below is a list of the most important basic concepts, in relation to the main movements of the Earth and some phenomena associated with them. Rotation and Translation Rotation is the movement made by the Earth rotating on itself, that is, around its own axis; the time it takes to give a…
