How a mobile observatory brings the wonders of the Andes sky to local students.

The GalileoMobile expedition is a two-month journey through the Andes Mountains. A team of astronomers and educators travels across Chile, Bolivia, and Peru to share the excitement of astronomy with young people through workshops and public star parties.

Supported by the European Southern Observatory and various partners, the project aims to connect science with culture and travel. The team traverses the Andean region, engaging students and the general public in astronomical activities.

Professional filmmakers accompany the expedition to document the experience. This initiative highlights the thrill of discovery, capturing how astronomy can inspire communities across these three South American nations.
