Who watches the sky for any likely threats? We start by visiting the La Sagra Observatory in Spain, in search of near-Earth asteroids. As a protection from astronomical catastrophes, a U.S. businessman builds underground bunkers. Will life be found in other planets? We shall ask children in Bogotá and find out through Spanish astronaut Pedro Duque what life is like in space. We shall also visit the largest Mexican observatory in San Pedro Martir, and get to know the project to build the largest optical telescope in the world, which will be installed in the North of Chile. We shall finish our journey at the Mexican ruins of Bonampak, where father and son will convey to us the importance of guarding the knowledge of our ancestors.

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.
