Dr. Sebastian Ramirez, IFA postdoc, enchanted the public present at his talk in the Public Library of Antofagasta, II Region of Chile, yesterday November 24, titled "A Superstar for Superman?". In his talk he gathered the clues that appear in the many stories about this super heroe, who presumably arrived on Earth escaping from a planet destroyed by an exploding red star, and using them to discover the possible culprit, examining two types of stars that could be responsible for that scenario, and using the astronomy information we currently know about such objects to finally answer the question: "Were supergiant red stars o giant red stars responsible?". Dr. Ramirez is Postdoctoral investigator at hte Instituto de Fisica y Astronomia of the UNiversidad de Valparaíso since 2013. I January 2016 he will give the talk once again, this time i Valparaíso, hosted by the Sociedad Astronómica de Valparaiso y Viña del Mar-Saval, open to all public. The notice will be put up on that institution´s website very soon.
