Latin America has been at the forefront of astronomical research and discoveries, with ancient solar observatories in Mexico and state-of-the-art radio telescopes in the Andes. The region has a rich history of space exploration, making it the perfect location for studying the cosmos.

Science Friday is thrilled to announce a partnership with El País: América Futura to launch a 7-week newsletter focused on astronomy and space science in Latin America. Each week, subscribers will receive a story on topics such as how satellites are monitoring deforestation in the Amazon, the future of astronomy in Puerto Rico following the collapse of the Arecibo telescope, and new research being conducted by Latin American women in the field.

The newsletter is designed to cater to a wide audience interested in astronomy and space science, with each story available in both English and Spanish. This unique opportunity provides readers with an insightful look into the advancements and discoveries happening in the field across Latin America.

Santiago Flórez, Science Friday’s community manager, will be contributing to the newsletter and sharing his expertise in astronomy and space science. With his background as a former teacher, anthropologist, and journalist, Flórez brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the project. He ensures that readers will receive well-rounded and informative content each week.
