The Zodiac is the name of the virtual belt in which the planets, Sun, and Moon appear to move about the sky. In reality, the planets and their respective moons (most of them anyway) orbit the Sun about the same plane. Because the orbits of the planets are not on a perfect plane, the Zodiac band is 16° wide - 8° on either side of the ecliptic.

Universidad Católica's Observatory
The Universidad Católica's Observatory, was opened in january 2005, it is located in Lo Barnechea at the Santa Martina Club.
Thanks for the info I did not know Catholic university has an observatory itself, I think it's a great achievement for the Chilean education, which is necessary for people who study careers, especially for research, can have great achievements, although it is a luxury that only a few universities with large incomes can afford
