The Universe seen from Chile is one the most rewarding
intellectual experiences both for the serious astronomer as well
as for the amateur stargazer. A privileged natural location, a dry
clime and the clearest skies in the southern hemisphere make the
ideal environment for those who want to get familiar with or to
do more serious research into the unfolding mysteries of the galaxy.
The technological development of the astronomical complexes built
in Chilean territory with the necessary support from Chilean institutions
make this country a must for the observation of the planets, the
constellations, the black holes and just the mere stars and the
Southern Cross.
