Carlos Seiza is a Nouvelle Alexandrian astronomer and physician. He is often regarded as one of the most erudite recorders of astronomical objects in Nouvelle Alexandrie. He was among the first students in the Faculty of Astrophysics at the University of Cárdenas in 1688 AN. He became famous for his publication of the 'Encyclopaedia of Celestial Bodies', a compilation of over 12,000 astronomical objects, in 1698 AN. He was instrumental in the discovery of new stars and asteroids at the Observatorio Perola, where he worked between 1694 AN and 1718 AN. He has been considered a leading scientist in Nouvelle Alexandrie, as the foremost authority on cosmology and astrophysics.
A Cárdenas Metro and Avenue in the Culture Sector was renamed after him in 1698 AN.
He was a member of the Federal Science & Research Council between 1704 AN and 1716 AN, and was known as a progressive voice for innovation and research. He was also a professor of astrophysics at the University of Cárdenas between 1718 AN until his retirement in 1722 AN, and wrote multiple textbooks.
Seiza died at the age of 71 in 1739 AN, after a short sickbed from Testicular Cancer.
