Founded in 1984 by the Department of Linguistics and Literature (Faculty of Humanities) and the Institute of Advanced Studies (IDEA-USACH), the Master’s in Latin American and Chilean Literature was created to prepare researchers and teachers with a strong critical profile. For four decades, this pioneering program has pushed beyond traditional academic boundaries to offer a transformative perspective on continental letters.

The article, titled “Analyzing New Planetary Systems at School: Applications of Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation and Kepler’s Third Law,” presents a teaching sequence designed and implemented in Chile. This sequence uses real data from exoplanets to effectively teach concepts of contemporary astrophysics in classrooms.

Scilights are concise summaries written by professional science communicators that highlight the most interesting research published in AIP journals. Their goal is to give global visibility to the findings and bring them to a wider scientific audience.
