The goal of the society is to create a channel linking students studying physics at the Faculty with astronomers at the Institute of Astronomy (UNAM).
[1] This is achieved through year-round biannual astronomy related activities such as conferences, courses, movie debates,[2] planetary observations through telescopes and outings focused on archeoastronomy.
The UAM served as a hub for student-academic astronomical activities at the north of the city until April 2010.
It has performed several important observations[3][4] of astronomical phenomena, such as solar and lunar eclipses, and has been noted on several national newspapers and television stations for its activities.
[5][6] It has also toured several faculties at the University,[7][8] creating awareness of astronomy and light pollution through telescope observations of Jupiter, Saturn, Mars and the Orion Nebula.
