Year 1988 ( MCMLXXXVIII) was a Leap year starting on Friday (link displays 1988 Gregorian calendar) Mexico City (in Spanish: Ciudad de México, México DF, México or simply Méjico) is the Capital city of Mexico The Mexican Revolution (Revolución Mexicana was a major armed struggle that started with an uprising led by Francisco I He studied Philosophy at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). Philosophy is the study of general problems concerning matters such as existence knowledge truth beauty justice validity mind and language The National Autonomous University of Mexico (in Spanish: Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México UNAM) is a Public university based He became interested in astronomy and because of his dedication and enthusiasm was hired in 1943 as an assistant at the newly founded Observatorio Astrofísico de Tonantzintla. Astronomy (from the Greek words astron (ἄστρον "star" and nomos (νόμος "law" is the scientific study Year 1943 ( MCMXLIII) was a Common year starting on Friday (the link will display full 1943 calendar of the Gregorian calendar. In order to pursue his astronomical training he visited the U. S. and worked from 1943 to 1944 at Harvard College Observatory.

Upon his return to Mexico in 1945 he continued working at the Observatorio Astrofísico de Tonantzintla where he was responsible for the commissioning of the new 24-31-inch. Year 1945 ( MCMXLV) was a Common year starting on Monday (link will display the full calendar Schmidt camera and where he became involved in the study of extremely red and extremely blue stars. In 1947 he started working for the Observatorio de Tacubaya of the UNAM
Guillermo Haro made many contributions to observational Astronomy, especially with the Tonantzintla Schmidt telescope. Year 1947 ( MCMXLVII) was a Common year starting on Wednesday (link will display full 1947 calendar of the Gregorian calendar. Astronomy (from the Greek words astron (ἄστρον "star" and nomos (νόμος "law" is the scientific study Among them were the detection of a large number of planetary nebulae in the direction of the galactic center and the discovery (also independently done by George Herbig) of the nonstellar condensations in high density clouds near regions of recent star formation (now called Herbig-Haro objects). A planetary nebula is an Emission nebula consisting of a glowing shell of Gas and plasma formed by certain types of Stars when they die George Howard Herbig (born January 2 1920) is an Astronomer at the University of Hawaii Institute for Astronomy. Herbig-Haro objects are small patches of nebulosity associated with newly-born Stars and are formed when Gas ejected by young Stars collides Haro and co-workers discovered flare stars in the Orion nebula region, and later on in stellar aggregates of different ages. A flare star is a Variable star which can undergo unpredictable dramatic increases in brightness for a few minutes Orion (ɒˈraɪən a Constellation often referred to as The Hunter, is a prominent constellation one of the largest and perhaps the best-known and most conspicuous His intense activity detecting flare stars continued till the end of his life.
Other major research projects carried out by Haro included the list of 8746 blue stars in the direction of the north galactic pole published jointly with W. J. Luyten in 1961. The galactic coordinate system is a Celestial coordinate system which is centered on the Sun and is aligned with the apparent center of the Milky Way galaxy Willem Jacob Luyten ( Mar 7 1899, Semarang &ndash Nov 21 1994, Minneapolis) was a Dutch - American Year 1961 ( MCMLXI) was a Common year starting on Sunday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. Work made with the 48-inch Palomar Schmidt using the three-color image technique developed at Tonantzintla. Palomar Observatory is a privately owned Observatory located in San Diego County California, 90 miles (145 Km) Southeast of Mount Wilson At least 50 of these objects turned out to be quasars (which had not yet been discovered in 1961). A quasar (contraction of QUASi-stellAR radio source) is an extremely powerful and distant Active galactic nucleus. Haro’s list of 44 blue galaxies, compiled in 1956, was a precursor to the work of Markarian and others in searching for such galaxies. Year 1956 ( MCMLVI) was a Leap year starting on Sunday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. Haro also discovered a number of T Tauri stars, one supernova, more than 10 novae, and one comet. T Tauri stars ( TTS) are a class of variable Stars named after their prototype – T Tauri. A supernova (plural supernovae or supernovas) is a stellar Explosion. A comet is a small Solar System body that orbits the Sun and when close enough to the Sun exhibits a visible coma (atmosphere or a tail —
Guillermo Haro was very influential in the development of astronomy in Mexico, not only by virtue of his own astronomical research but also by promoting the development of new institutions. The United Mexican States ( or commonly Mexico (ˈmɛksɪkoʊ () is a federal constitutional Republic in North America. In a more important aspect he defined modern astrophysical research in Mexico where he gave impulse to different initial lines of research and established general scientific policies.
In 1968 he married journalist and writer Elena Poniatowska, with whom he had two children: Felipe and Paula. Elena Poniatowska (born May 19 1932 in Paris France as Princess Hélène Elizabeth Louise Amélie Paula Dolores Poniatowska Amor) is a Polish - Mexican
