The telescope is named in honour of the biochemist Joan Or\u00f3 i Florensa, one of the most relevant scientists related to the study of the origin of life. In the midst of Franco’s era, Joan Or\u00f3 emigrated from Lleida to the United States to work on the research on Darwin’s theories and to answer some fundamental questions: who we are and where we come from. He worked at NASA and participated in the arrival of the first man on the Moon and in the exploration of the planet Mars. On returning to Catalonia, during the 1990s, Joan Or\u00f3 and the foundation that bears his name were the main promoters of the project to build an astronomical observatory in the Montsec area.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”37px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||30px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Oswald|||on|||||” text_text_color=”#406fda” text_font_size=”16px” text_letter_spacing=”3px” custom_margin=”||8px|||” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
