Interview with Review Journal en Espanol
Last night's Lunar eclipse was a reminder of nature's wonders.
Despite the stormy weather and rain, the skies eventually cleared in time, allowing us to witness the Moon's incredible transformation. It's a beautiful lesson in patience and acceptance sometimes the most breathtaking moments come after the storms.
It gets dark enough to see Star around the Moon.
Mars Opposition is Coming! Prepare for a celestial show this winter!
Get ready, stargazers! It has been 2.2 years. It is not the best opposition, but we can try. From late December 2024 to January 16th, 2025, Mars will reach its closest point to Earth (opposition).
This means the Red Planet will be brighter and bigger, and we'll even have a chance to see its icy south pole!
Don't miss this rare opportunity to gaze at the Red Planet's southernmost point. It's a once-in-a-while treat that will leave you starstruck! Share with friends and family who love space, and astronomy, or want to experience the thrill of witnessing something truly cosmic.

I spent a truly inspiring morning at Career Day sharing the wonders of space exploration and the groundbreaking opportunities of the Artemis program at the Luna base with children of all ages Their enthusiasm was contagious as I showed them videos of eating, drinking, and doing gymnastics in Leo orbit! From kindergarteners to high school students, their dreams and curiosity about living and working on the Lunar Base were palpable. A huge thank you to the teachers and students for this unforgettable experience!

First sunset of the spring
Just wrapped up an incredible hike in Fletcher Canyon! This 4-mile round trip took me 4 hours, with sections of medium difficulty that were totally worth it. Gaining an elevation of 991 ft and was rewarded with breathtaking views of a river bed and an impressive gorge at the end.
Nature never ceases to amaze!
Today, I had going to Kizuna Japanese Spring Festival: Haru Matsuri, and it was absolutely amazing! πΈ
It was a true journey into Japanese culture, filled with incredible arts, activities, and performances. I shared a special moment with my mom during the Japanese Tea Ceremony, marveling at the meticulous beauty of this tradition. I also discovered something newβthe refreshing ice yuzu tea, which I absolutely loved trying.
I love the calligraphic and origami, ikebana, taiko drumming, koto music, yosakoi dancing, martial arts, delicious food.
It was a day brimming with culture and joy!
Epic Journey Across America!
We passed through the majestic mountains of Colorado, the vast plains of Kansas, the lush Hoosier forests, and the breathtaking Appalachian scenery. Every moment was an adventure, filled with awe-inspiring landscapes and unforgettable experiences.
Here's to new beginnings and the road ahead!
From the high deserts of Nevada to the rolling hills of Virginia, we made an incredible trek! In just 3 days, we covered 2,311 miles in 37 hours and 26 minutes of just driving, witnessing the diverse beauty of this country.
Did you know that the Milky Way has over 150 globular clusters?
One of the most striking globular clusters in our Milky Way is Messier 3 (M3) I came across an amazing image of the globular cluster M3 taken with the Vatican Advanced Technology Telescope. For comparison, I share a photo that I have taken through the DWARF II.
Did you know that M3 is a collection of several thousand to millions of stars, all gravitationally bound?
It's approximately 34,000 light-years distant and contains around 500,000 stars!
You can spot it high above the disk of the Milky Way after sunset and before sunrise. Take a look with binoculars or a telescope and see if you can spot T Cor Bor (which is about to go nova, one of these days!)
Our morning was truly magical as we gathered with over 500 enthusiastic people, including many kids, to witness the partial solar eclipse event! ππβ¨ Through the telescope, we marveled at the beauty of the sun's dance in the sky and were delighted to spot some sun spots! πβοΈ What an incredible experience of nature's wonders! ππ #SolarEclipse #AstroAdventures #SunSpotSpectacular πβ¨
Today, I was deeply honored by the Clark County Board of Commissioners for my work in educating our community about the wonders of the universe. I owe this recognition to the unwavering support of my family, friends, and the incredible organizations that have partnered with me over the years.
It's been an incredible journey fueled by curiosity and a passion for space. I am humbled by this recognition and committed to continuing my mission of promoting scientific literacy.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey, with special thanks to Commissioner Gibson and Commission District Liaison Blanca Vazquez for their incredible support and encouragement. Your enthusiasm makes all the difference.
Let's keep looking up and exploring the cosmos together!
