AUTHOR MAKES THE NIGHT SKY ACCESSIBLE FOR EVERYONE New Britain, CT, July 2012—Observatories and planetarium shows are places many people visit to learn about the night sky. But what if you have a different learning style or a physical disability? Does that mean the night sky is not available to you? Noreen Grice’s new book, Everyone’s Universe: A Guide to Accessible Astronomy Places (Second Edition), shows how accessible the universe can be! She describes educational strategies for making astronomy events accessible and fun for all participants, and especially people who have physical or neurological disabilities. The book also includes a state-‐by-‐state travel guide to accessible planetariums and observatories, with icons, photographs and descriptive text. Glenn Chaple at Astronomy Magazine wrote, "Everyone’s Universe: A Guide to Accessible Astronomy Places is a must-‐read for anyone involved in astronomy outreach and should be in possession of every astronomy club and facility that deals with the general public." Noreen Grice is an internationally recognized expert at making astronomy accessible and exciting for people with disabilities. She is founder and president of You Can Do Astronomy LLC and author of five tactile astronomy books.
