The trip has ended. For eight weeks we have visited stars, asteroids and satellites. In the first 3 weeks we met 16 stars, in the next 3 weeks 11 stars and 11 asteroids, and in this round of the last two weeks another asteroid and 15 satellites. Here is the compilation of everything we have learned in the last two weeks:

And so far what has given #KZJaia2. For Zientzia.net it has been an honor and a pleasure to host this festival. There is no farewell, there will also come #KZJai3, but after the summer we will know who and when the witness will take. Now it's time to take a well-deserved break, and for that we have this last special mojito. Happy! News
