A rockstar of astronomy

To long of the time there have been great minds that they´ve helped us to know and understand the world actually, some important thing to mention are Marie Curie, she was physicist and chemist who conducted pioneering research on radioactivity, Antoine Lavoisier, the father of the chemistry, Albert Einstein really a genius, Stephen Hawking and your contribution for black hole, and well as many others.

Nowadays I talk to you about a scientist actually that I admire a lot, He´s José Maza, well José Maza Sancho was born in 1948, He is a Chilean astronomer and astrophysicist, his work has focused on the study of supernovas, the execution of a search for objects with emission lines, dark energy, and quasars with an objective prism, which led him to be awarded the National Prize for Exact Sciences in 1999.

Apart from being a professor and being a member of the Center for Astrophysics and Related Technologies (CATA), he has given astronomical talks to young people to get them interested in science, one of which he did at the boarding school in which he studied. 

Every time I get a chance to attend your talks, I don´t miss them for nothing. in summer I had two week of class with José Maza in the University of Chile, he has been write 3 book of scientific disclosure, "Somos polvo de estrellas", "Marte: la proxima frontera" y "Eclipses", all it´s excellent books, and the best is that every one of them can be understood by all the people.

I admire to José Maza because we´re live in a country where the disclosure for the science is ignorated or just don´t talk about it, and José Maza has been able to spread the science for children, young and adults across the country.

Finally I recommend read the books of José Maza for all those who have interest in astronomy or really for all the people.
