The Instituto Milenio de Astrofísica MAS launched two videos or "animates" last friday with the aim to bringing astronomy closer to children, a project initiated last July under the leadership of Mario Hamuy (Premio Nacional de Ciencias Exactas 2015) and the popular cartoonist "Guille", and in which our researcher and member of IFA Juan Carlos Beamin is an enthusiastic participant. These videos bring together art and astronomy, by means of drawings and music, so as to explain astrophysical concepts in a way easier to understand, thereby making them accesible to children and to anyone interested in learning about this fascinating science.
