Hi, Bruce.

Per Steve Shawl's newsletter, there are several sites that have Spanish
versions of astronomy.

The  main NASA site is ciencia@NASA,
http://ciencia.msfc.nasa.gov/

The SIRTF mission  has SIRTF en espanol,
http://ipac.jpl.nasa.gov/SIRTFspanish/index.html

The McDonald Observatory Star Date Radio Scripts are available in
Spanish,
http://universo.utexas.edu/

Space Place is an EPO program for the New Millenium program at NASA.  It
is a site directed at children, but does have a Spanish version.  (There
area occasional lapses of scientific rigor here, but we're trying to
encourage them to get the material reviewed more thoroughly.)
http://spaceplace.jpl.nasa.gov/espanol/index.html

These are a few that I know off the top of my head.
Terry

7.)  And I have learned from Kristy Dyer of NRAO Socorro that they have a grant to translate all the NRAO public web pages into Spanish.

This is at least a start.   Bruce Partridge
