This montage places us in 1997, in the Atacama Desert, on the grounds of the La Silla Observatory. It is the night in which Ruiz makes the great discovery of his career: Kelü, a brown dwarf never seen before. "Kelü, two astronomers, two eras, the same sky" comes to GAM within the framework of the XIV Santiago Off Festival.
That day Cecilia Payne Gaposhkin appears in front of her, a former astronomer who discovered that the composition of the stars was not what was believed until that moment. However, he could not shine when he discovered it.
