"The Earth is blue."
Yuri Gagarin (1961)Embedded Files
I am an astrophysicist working for
the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory,
at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian.
Historically, it is said that SAO primary purpose was to:
"record the amount and character of the Sun's heat".
Today, I am one of its solar scientists. Science is my passion.
The Sun is my favorite thing on space.
I am always willing to share my knowledge.
Sharing is the way I learned most of the things I know and it is also the task left through generations.
Just like Galileo, I enjoy sharing the Sun through telescopes.
The Sun is a perfect excuse to awake the scientist hidden in each of us.
I love cooking, playing video-games and the ukulele, and taking pictures.
I had a dog. He was tiny.
I keep it simple.
