Famous Scientists

The beginnings of science and the scientific method largely came from the ancient Greek world, which encompassed the eastern part of the Mediterranean. The names of the great scientists and philosophers of that time, such as Pythagoras, Archimedes, Aristotle, Eratosthenes and Thales, are still known today, over 2,000 years later.

Historia de la Astronomía en México

La astronomía ha sido cultivada en México mucho antes del descubrimiento de América, por lo que el estudio cuidadoso y sistemático de las diferentes concepciones astronómicas que han tenido los habitantes de nuestro país a lo largo de siglos (¿milenios?), seguramente ha ayudado y ayudará a comprender mejor el legado cultural que nos han dejado y que estamos obligados a cuidar y acrecentar.
