In this chapter we shall visit Campo del Cielo, a region in Chaco, Argentina, where a meteor shower fell 4.000 years ago, and which up to this day remains as a symbol for its population. In the North of Chile we shall go to the spectacular crater of Monturaqui and we shall find out how a hunter of meteorites seeks and collects fragments found in the Desert of Atacama. In Cali, Colombia, families who saw a meteor falling, directly, explain the phenomenon and its effects on their homes.

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.
