Experts from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) have created the first network of radio-telescopes in Latin America to promote the research of the activities of the sun, the moon and the planets.

The network aimed to promote the scientific research and facilitate the intercommunication between radio-telescopes, the UNAM, one of the major universities in Latin America, said in a statement on Wednesday.

UNAM General Director of Science Divulgation Jose de la Herran said in the statement that the university wants more radio-telescopes from different parts of the country to join the network and to encourage the study of the radio astronomy among Mexican youngsters.

De la Herran said in the event like sun storms, the intercommunication between local and global radio-telescopes is necessary to determining the sun's radio emissions.

"The radio-telescopes study objects in the sky and the astrophysics phenomena, measuring the emission of electromagnetic radiation in the region of the spectrum's radio," de la Herran said.

De la Herran added that a minimum network set uses one antenna, one radio receptor and one computer with a software to translate the graphic signals.
