Blando Torres, originally from Mexico City, but a resident of the Lagunera region since 1994, became interested in astronomy from a very young age and in 2000 he began to buy a wide variety of meteorites.
Within the collection, some places such as Allende stand out, one from Mars (Dar Al Gani 476) and another from the asteroid Vesta.
