Abstract
In this document, we address the relevance of astronomy in scientific education for society through scientific outreach. The importance
of astronomy lies in the fascination and wonder it can inspire, as well as its ability to connect a wide range of other scientific disciplines.
Therefore, it is a scientific field with enormous potential to sow the seeds of scientific knowledge in society. Tools are also essential because
outreach, in addition to being informative, should also be enjoyable. This document also describes the outreach activities carried out in
the field of astronomy during large-scale daytime and nighttime astronomical observations, in collaboration with other educational
institutions and scientific research institutes. To participate in such events, the Faculty of Sciences at the Autonomous University of Baja
California (UABC) Campus Punta Morro in Ensenada, B.C., has acquired several telescopes over the years, both for daytime and nighttime
observations.
Keywords: Popularization of science, Telescopes, Astronomy.
