Another pecu- liarity of the Agrupación Astro- nómica Magallanes is that it is part of the Red Andaluza de Astronomía (RAdA), which includes many ama- teur astronomy associations in our region. Shortly, we will also belong to the Federación de Agrupaciones Astronómicas de España (FAAE), which will allow us to strengthen foods, mainly honey, relies on our group to organize sessions with conversations and observations of the summer night sky. We also col- laborate with nearby amateur as- tronomy associations in their ac- tivities to help our colleagues, pro- viding speakers to hold conversa- tions and conferences, or monitors and tools for public observations ! ties with many more amateur astronomers in the region and throughout the coun- try, as well as partici- pate in significant events. In addition to everything we do in the Agrupación As- tronómica Magallanes, the most important thing for us is the friendship and har- mony that exists in our group. This is what has allowed us to remain united in these almost twenty-five years and to overcome the diffi- cult moments that occur in all groups. I hope the story does not end here and we will continue to spread astronomy and science in general for many more years. I believe that society needs ama- teur astronomers, peo- ple who, with a simple hobby, enhance science and whose priority is to teach those who do not know it, spreading their passion. Culture is not only literature, the- ater and art; it is also science. We have to fight myths and prove that science is not boring. If the right tools are used, it is not even that difficult. In this world, where it is convenient for the ruling class that society is easy to manage and entertain, we must contrast with knowledge, which is the only thing that allows human beings to differ- entiate and choose freely, rather than be manipulated.
