"Nuestra Galaxia" & "Adler En Español"

"Nuestra Galaxia" is an Emmy-nominated weekly astronomy news segment and a collaboration between the Adler Planetarium & Astronomy Museum and Noticias Univision Chicago. The two-minute segment hosted by José Francisco Salgado covers astronomy news and topics, skywatching information as well as questions submitted by viewers. "Nuestra Galaxia" is part of an Adler initiative called "Adler en Español" which explores opportunities to interact with the Spanish-speaking community in the Chicago area which numbers more than one million people. Other Spanish-language components of this initiative include audio tours, courses, special programs, sky shows, and interactive exhibits. A review of these components, challenges encountered, and lessons learned so far are presented here.
