AXIS – library of astronomical knowledge

The Geoscope is a pedagogical project with a multidisciplinary vocation that brings together the active community with an interest in astronomy. The associated thematic diversity is multipolar.

The diagramming of the AXIS axes - TIME, TECHNOLOGY, and HUMANITY - aims to facilitate the interconnection and understanding of the respective content areas.

origins
human development

The history of the Universe perpetuates ancestral knowledge, allowing us a different understanding of contemporary space exploration.

anthropocene
turning point

Awareness of humanity’s use of the earth and space, light pollution, space debris, sustainability.

science
contemporary astronomy

From the Fajão radio telescope to the large telescopes of the Atacama. Astronomy, astrophysics, and a broad range of related sciences. Cosmology, which studies the origin, structure, and evolution of the Universe.

space exploration
cybernetic machines

Humanity and robotic vehicles, the science and technology that allow us to explore the cosmos through unmanned and autonomous missions to the edges of the solar system.

visible
reality, observation, and cycles

Looking at the sky and exploring the wonders of this biotope. Observing the sky from our own eyes to the eyes of the James Webb Telescope. From optical dimensions to cybernetic dimensions.

invisible
fiction, awareness, and philosophy

We rarely look up. We live on a two-dimensional surface and need to understand three-dimensionality. For this, we need to look up. Astronomy is the science that helps us see and understand that three-dimensionality.
