Teaching solar astronomy on march 21 th in a multicultural village during IYA 2009 Mexico

We describe activities and resources at a popularization of science event that was organized in a multicultural mystical small village and the response of the audience that attended it. On March 21 Th. 2009 (spring equinox) we conducted a social experiment of science outreach. Scientists, educators and graduate students interacted with general public at a village named Tepoztlan, State of Morelos, Mexico, that is a former farmers town in process of urbanization, which depends to an extended degree of thousands of tourists which frequents the place, most of all during the equinox day. A team of scientists and their graduate students that belong to the solar physics program of Instituto de Geofísica (UNAM)organized a solar observation, setting at the garden of an old Hispanic dominican convent (XVI century), 10 telescopes with solar filters to show on real time to the general audience, our principal star : The Sun. We also prepared a free separate resource guide to help answer questions about basic information about our star like his structure, sun spots,age,diameter,evolution etc and two researchers offer conferences to the local elementary school children. The main audience came from the local people like bakers, open market workers or home makers that after finish his labor day went to the Museum to observe the Sun trough the telescopes or to attend the conferences with their children. They have several questions about scientific and pseudo-scientific topics related not just to the solar equinox, but about the earth's magnetic field, planets etc. We also discuss our experiences communicating science face to face to an audience that came to a town that is famous for his widely mystical legends related to solar energy or vibration that humans can use to get luck or health especially on this date.
