Seriously, the best way to learn more about me is to visit my place of employment: Pacific Science Center (either virtually by going to their website,  or in person).

AstroInfo is written by Alice Enevoldsen. Although she works for the Pacific Science Center in Seattle, WA, the opinions expressed in AstroInfo are her own, not those of any organization. Mistakes in content should be blamed on Alice, not on any organization.

AstroInfo is an attempt to answer common astronomical questions from Pacific Science Center staff, and highlight interesting goings-on in the world of astronomy.

AstroInfo is aimed at an audience of inquisitive adults, and I hope that everyone enjoys it.

Planetariums I Have Known

About Alice

Alice Enevoldsen is currently the planetarium specialist at Pacific Science Center in Seattle, Washington, a part-time evening Astronomy instructor at South Seattle Community College, and volunteers as one of NASA’s Solar System Ambassadors. She has been working in planetariums since 1996, has a B.A. in Astronomy-Geology from Whitman College, and a Masters in Teaching from Seattle University. Her fascination with the stars led her to try her hand at astronomy research in Boston and Walla Walla, where she realized that her calling in life was actually to work in museums and be a translator for scientists. Now she works hard to share her love of the stars and excitement about astronomy with as many people as possible.

  • Alice,

    Happy to link to you. Now that baseball season is over, I may get around to writing a bit about astronomy on mine!

    Best,
    Greg

    By way of introduction, I visited the Pacific Science Center and picked up some handouts that I shared with the Grout Museum in Waterloo, Iowa. The musum is now on your e-list, and your materials are made available at planetarium shows.

    In the current AstroInfo I noticed a mention that Altair is the “BEST star in the whole sky.” I am compelled to ask why you say this. Please help me.

    David,

    Thanks! The reason Altair is the best is really quite simple … I’m named after it. My parents made my middle name Altair, and I’ve had an affinity for the star ever since. :)

    -Alice
