Mission: On AstroPool we are truly astronomy enthusiasts and we have combined our professional careers with the study and research of the cosmos.
Apart from building a new Internet based on blockchain, Astropool’s goal is to collaborate in the dissemination of scientific knowledge in general and astronomical knowledge in particular, through direct collaboration with non-profit organizations and other entities whose activity includes the spreading of astronomical knowledge.
That’s why we have both collaboration agreements with the Malaga Astronomy Society (Sociedad Malagueña de Astronomía, AstroMalaga) and with AstroLab (the first online astronomy school in Spain), motivated by their dedication and commitment to the spreading of science and astronomy knowledge, specially among kids and disadvantaged people. For doing that we’re donating 5% of pool’s benefits to each of the organizations that join us, up to 30% total.

Apart from that, I’m absolutely a science and astronomy enthusiast, and we love amateur astronomy, astrophotography, physics and science in general. And I love spending the whole night with my telescope looking at the cosmos, and making photographs. You can look some of them here: https://astroterraza.sjurado.eu/Telescopio/index.html#/0
