In this chapter we shall visit the millenary city of Chan Chan, in the North of Peru, which was built by the Chimú culture to worship the Moon and where human sacrifices were held and devoted to the Moon. We shall meet an astro-photographer from San Francisco who is obsessed with the idea of taking the best picture of the Moon and, in Santiago de Chile, we shall ride on bicycles in a poetical and romantic event, namely cycling under the moon. In the Main Temple of Mexico City we shall discover how the Aztecs could measure time following the Moon. We shall see that this satellite has a bearing on the life of native wayú women, in Colombia, through a sacred ritual. We end our journey in Houston, where we shall see the spacecraft that took men to the Moon.

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.
