Abstract:
Galaxy Forum (GF) South America 2020, was held virtually on December 8, 2020 on
the opening eve of IAU 367 by the International Lunar Observatory Association (ILOA Hawai’i)
with the support of the Instituto de Tecnolog´ıas en Detecci´on y Astropart´ıculas (ITeDA, CNEACONICET-UNSAM) and IAU. Galaxy Forum is an education and outreach program sponsored
by ILOA, an interglobal enterprise incorporated in Hawaii as a non-profit organization to expand
human knowledge of the Cosmos through observation from our Moon and to participate in
internationally cooperative lunar base build-out.
As a IAU-367 associated event, Galaxy Forum featured comments by Dr. Beatriz Garcia
and presentations by ILOA Director Steve Durst (ILOA Hawai’i, USA), Marcelo Colazo
(CONAE, Argentina); C´esar Gonzalez Garc´ıa (CSIC, Spain); Li Geng (NAOC, China); Santiago
Paolantonio (C´ordoba Observatory, Argentina) and Margarita Safonova (IIA, India). In this
contribution, the overview of the contributions permits an approach to the GF interests.
