["Pomp and Circumstance"]
My name is Eduardo López. I am an academic technician.
I have been an academic technician since 41 years ago.
I have just completed 41 years here at the observatory.
My job has been to assist astronomers from the beginning,
and then I have dedicated myself to the maintenance of telescopes
in the field of precision mechanics.
I was one of the first, well, of the last,
that I am still working here.
They are 40 years, 41 years that I am here.
And these were completely different circumstances
from what they are now in this place.
That is why I can mention that Karay raised me,
well, when we finished observing,
and he said to an astronomer,
who turned that focus on,
thinking that someone had turned a focus on
what was called the Caltic Cerrito,
and I was surprised.
It was Venus.
Imagine how intense it was for Venus to believe
that the astronomer was seeing a person
who had turned a focus on, right?
Or another person, another researcher,
who suddenly leaves and gets angry,
and sees the sky and says,
he's already angry.
And I don't say the other words, right?
But he's very angry, he gets angry,
and suddenly the assistant comes out and says,
it's the Milky Way.
That is surprising,
we can say that it is the Milky Way.
The works of the Office of the Law of the Sky
at the Institute of Astronomy consist of
doing a little study of the monitoring
of the brightness of the sky
to be able to have a record of how it has increased
or if it has maintained stable levels.
The problem of light pollution
has to do with the external lighting,
the public lighting, for example.
We want the external lighting
to be able to perform our daily activities
safely, be able to drive,
go out for a walk,
have no problem, and no accident.
The problem begins when the design is inadequate.
We want the light to be down
to be able to drive safely, for example.
But if this lighting escapes above the horizon,
that is where the problem of light pollution begins.
Because once it escapes above the horizon,
it will collide with suspended particles
such as dust, smoke, water vapor.
It will travel hundreds of kilometers, it will rebound on these particles
and it will reach the observatory telescopes.
But as this problem was being studied,
we realized that its affections were further away.
There are many species of animals
that depend on the natural cycles of the darkness
and the brightness of the day.
We have, for example, Canadian geese
with their migratory routes.
We have marine turtles that also depend on this.
In this case, marine turtles are curious
that the eggs in the beaches
begin to break and come out in the turtles.
They seek the reflection of the moon on the sea.
The problem is that if instead of finding
the reflection of the moon on the sea,
what you see is a poster of close light,
they will take the wrong path.
Finally, human beings do not escape.
For a long time, it has been known
that there is a hormone in the human body,
melatonin, which regulates the cycles of sleep and rest.
Through our eyes,
we can perceive how much external light there is.
Once the night comes,
the melatonin should naturally be produced.
However, if we are exposed to a constant illumination,
melatonin will not be produced
and it will be that our cycle of natural rest is remembered.
That is to say, we are going to sleep later
and it will cost us more work to get up in the morning.
With the passage of time, this lack of sleep
can be chronic,
which can lead to emotional and psychological problems
such as anxiety or depression.
There are even preliminary studies
that seem to be relating to this lack of rest,
this impact on hormone regulation,
with problems such as certain types of cancer.
At the bottom of the cell there are 24...
24 centimeters, 5 millimeters.
24.5 at the bottom of the cell.
At the bottom of the cell, I'm going to judge.
It seems that with this...
At my arrival, there were some very interesting people,
very friendly, very hospitable,
really, and one of them was Thomas Farrell.
This person is definitely a native of the region,
of foreign parents,
with an Indian from the region,
and he is a fairly tall, well-built man,
and with a hat that impressed anyone.
And given to him, he was working at the Meiling Ranch,
and knowing that if he was going to open this place,
then he managed to get a job in this place.
He used to go up with his own vehicle to the observatory,
and he always supported and was of great help,
because besides knowing the area,
knowing the forest,
there were many things of the nature of this place,
which was taken advantage of by the astronomers
and by the researchers to know
what was needed from this observatory,
in many areas of the observatory.
He told us exactly how the climate was behaving.
It is one of the very important things that he told us,
that he had to be careful when the moon was shown in a certain way,
or how the sun was set,
or how certain clouds were seen,
which he did not know, of course,
he did not know how the nimbus, the cirrus, the stratus,
or anything like that, but he said,
those clouds that are seen from those clouds,
there is a storm,
so you have to get ready,
or the moon is showing itself as a little case,
because there was going to be a very heavy rain season,
and it helped us a lot in that,
but it was a number of things that he collaborated with,
and it was a great person.
Twelve Toads
I was just locked in the room,
by someone showing me around home.
They said, I'm supposed to leave my house and leave my house.
I am one of the four 350 people that's going to leave my house.
My great-grandmother From Usifah did not know
if this was what they wanted.
informing to the boss
My name is Leonor and I live here in La Ruedo Leon,
a descendant of Los Kiliguas.
My mother was named Josefa Espinoza.
I don't know if she's alive, but she's here.
The rest of the speakers are five adults, who are only 75 years old.
There are times when the moon brings a wheel,
it can be air or it can be rain or it can be very cold.
And when the moon is so hot that the peaks are up there,
it also brings a lot of water.
And the children say, it's going to rain.
The moon brings a lot of water.
And yes, it's true.
They asked God to cry out loud.
That's how we heard it and we learned it.
As indigenous people, in cultural issues,
we have been increasing the loss of all our customs and customs.
What is the moon?
The activities we did before, for example,
is the piñón and all that, the season.
All the Kiliguas, the Pais de San Isidoro,
they gathered in that part to collect in the piñón,
in the time of September and August.
And all that part up there, the observatory up there.
So we collected that natural resource that has also come to an end.
That also depends on the issues of the moon,
of many things, of many factors,
especially of nature.
That originates that many times,
as indigenous people,
almost all of us owe it to nature.
We have come to lose the songs at night, the stories.
I remember that I was told about Braulio Spinoza,
and they told us that the stories have to be told at night.
