Spanish Sky and Space

This page brought to you by: Mary, Ron, Clarissa, Barbara, Sam, Dee, and Nate

¡HOLA!

This is a website about Sky and Space in Spanish. You will see things that are close by like birds, rain, and snowflakes. You will also see things that are very far away like black holes, space stations, and stars. Many of these things are things that you have seen before or maybe heard about in science class. We think that you will enjoy learning about sky and space in Spanish because when you go to talk about those things now, you can do so in two languages. You may even be able to use the stuff one day in a report or in a job.
