In this chapter we visit Infiernito, an ancient astronomical observatory of the Muiscas people in Colombia and travel through the Brazilian Amazon, in order to delve into the vision of the sky held by the Tucanos and Baniwas tribes. In Chile, we shall hear how the Association of Skeptics challenges the validity of horoscopes and we shall test astral charts. We’ll discuss the differences between astrology and astronomy and, in California, we ponder on the relation between the Cosmos and human history. Finally, in the Elqui Valley in Chile, we discover how the mysticism of chamanes co-exists with one of the most powerful observatories in the world: Gemini and the Cerro Tololo Interamerican Observatory.

Children of the Stars is a voyage through the history of the people of America and their vision of the sky, since the earliest civilizations until the present. In this crossing between the future and the past, this series travels through Latin America to discover the secrets of ancient temples devoted to stars in the Universe and to visit the world’s largest astronomical observatories with their cutting-edge technology, along with outstanding scientists. This trip will show us how the cosmos inspired, and continues to inspire, humanity and the arts.

To know the Universe is to know ourselves. Because the calcium in our bones and the iron in our blood came to us through the explosion of a star, thousands of years ago. Because we are all Sons of the Stars.
