AB: We present the Virtual Earth-Sun Observatory (VESO) at the web site http://www.veso.unam.mx. This site shows a real time integrated database obtained from four instruments of the Instituto de Geofisica-UNAM studying Sun- Earth connection phenomena. (1) The Solar Radio Interferometer (RIS, Radio Interferómetro Solar) measures the lower solar atmosphere radiation at 7.5 GHz, revealing microwave bursts associated with solar activity. (2) The Mexican Array Radio Telescope (MEXART, Observatorio de Centelleo Interplanetario de Coeneo) will detect solar wind large-scale disturbances between Sun and Earth(e.g., Interplanetary counterparts of Coronal Mass Ejections (ICMES)and Stream Interaction Regions (SIR)) employing the interplanetary scintillation technique (IPS) operating at 140 MHz. (3) The Cosmic Ray Observatory (RC) detects high energy galactic and solar particles, whose flow is affected by magnetic disturbances in the solar wind, and (4) the Teoloyucan Geomagnetic Observatory (TEO) measures the variations in the Earth´s magnetic field. The VESO instruments provide data from four different points of the complex chain of the solar terrestrial relations and allow the study of intense solar events and in possible consequences in causing geomagnetic activity. The VESO project is part of the celebration of the International Heliophysical Year (IHY) and the Electronic Geophysical Year (EGY) in Mexico.
