Lucia, the Secret of Shooting Stars
Planétarium Rio Tinto Alcan - Montreal Space for life
Where do shooting stars come from? Why do they occur? What are meteorites? A penguin called James and a polar bear called Vladimir are struck by an unknown object as they contemplate the Southern Lights from space. A hummingbird named Lucia flies to their assistance after their dangerous landing. She tells them a strange legend about “stones of light.” Once their spaceship is repaired, all three of them set off on a search for answers to their questions.
