Universo Background

Universo is the Spanish-language version of StarDate. Our research shows that it is now the most widely aired Spanish-language science program on radio. It airs on more than 150 stations in the United States, Puerto Rico, Mexico, and several other countries.

Universo places a special emphasis on the work of Hispanic astronomers in the United States and elsewhere, and on the rich starlore and sky observations of Mesoamerican cultures, with particular emphasis on the Maya, Aztecs, and Inca.

With grant funding from the National Science Foundation, Universo first aired on April 1, 1995. Additional funding is provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the Texas Space Grant Consortium.
