Synopsis

This publication brings together a selection of papers presented at the Second Conference on Epistemology and History of Astronomy (JEHA-II), which was held in a hybrid format (in-person and virtual) on November 23 and 24, 2023, in the auditorium of the Astronomical Observatory of the National University of Córdoba, Argentina. The articles included in this volume contribute to the creation and consolidation of specific areas of interdisciplinary work, crossing interests in both astronomy as a scientific discipline and history and epistemological reflection, among other related areas such as museology, cultural astronomy, and education.
