Through the conversation between a child and his mother, this program tackles the importance of light in all areas of our lives and presents different scenarios that reveal the complexity of light and its direct influence on our  planet. The Sun is the closest star to Earth and generates the energy that provides the light and heat necessary for life. The study of the Sun’s light and that of other stars and galaxies enables the development of several models that explain the origin, structure and evolution of the universe.
