The future of San Pedro Mártir. An Ongoing Long History of International Collaboration in Mexico
Astronomy has been an international
URLscience for several centuries and
Mexico has had an important part
in this story. The voyages of the
Chappe d’Auteroche to San José del
Cabo, Baja California Sur, to observe the transit of
Venus in 1769, then the one directed by Francisco
Díaz Covarrubias of Mexican astronomers who
travelled to Japan for the following transit, or,
since the founding of the National Astronomi
Observatory (OAN) in 1878, the Carte du Ciel
project, the installation of the first telescope (1.5
meters) in San Pedro Mártir, and all of the recently
installed telescopes are all examples of this history
of international collaborations.
