Ciencia a tu alrededor - Espiando las estrellas

La Dra. Yajaira Sierra Sastre, joven científica y educadora originaria del pueblo de Arroyo, cuenta cómo su sueño de convertirse en astronauta comenzó cuando de niña observaba el cielo de noche con su papá.  Desde entonces ha tenido curiosidad por el espacio. Pasamos a una noche de observación para el público general de la Sociedad de Astronomía del Caribe (SAC). Vemos a niños y adultos observando a través de telescopios. El director de la SAC nos dice qué tipos de astros se pueden ver y cuán lejanos están estos cuerpos. Se explica el concepto de “años luz”.
