Síntesis del Episodio

We are deeply connected to light. Our lives depend on the sun, and thanks to the development of science and technology, we have invented artificial light to illuminate our nights. Now we even celebrate the brilliance of city lights. But we have forgotten one of the most beautiful lights that we insist on hiding. The light of the sky. The light of the universe. Thank you for watching the video. I am Silvia Torres Castilleja from the Institute of Astronomy of the National Autonomous University of Mexico. Irene Cruz González, researcher at the Astronomy Institute of UNAM. Much or a large part of the information we receive comes through sight, through the vision of what surrounds us. From all over the world, the objects, the dangers, the satisfactions come for many of us from light. It is not the only stimulus, but it is certainly the most important.
