AstroInfo is written by Alice Enevoldsen. Although she works and volunteers for a variety of organizations, the opinions expressed in AstroInfo are her own, not those of any organization. Mistakes in content should be blamed on Alice, not on them.

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

Copyright, Use Policy, Photo Use Policy, Republication Policy

The writing in these posts and diagrams by me are all available for educational re-use as long as you attribute me, don’t change anything and include a link back, because I want the info out there for people to learn from. So – if you use stuff, let me know, and don’t sell it: I’m not making any money off this. You are welcome to make printouts for your classroom.

A number of photos here are by my husband, Jason Gift Enevoldsen. I’ve credited him under each photo that is his. He retains all rights to these photos. He’d also probably be thrilled to let you use them, but you’ll have to ask him in each case. Contact him at: jason at cosmicsquid dot com (take out the spaces, turn the at and dot into the symbols they represent …)

Contacting Me

3. Comments must be polite and readable, but do not have to agree with me.

About Alice

Alice Enevoldsen is a Seattle native and freelance science writer who currently volunteers as one of NASA’s Solar System Ambassadors, and worked in science museums from 1996-2014. She holds degrees in Astronomy-Geology (Whitman College), and Teaching (Seattle University). While at MIT in Cambridge, she discovered a star, now named XTEJ 1837+037, and realized that her calling in life was to work as an educator and teach scientists how to be better educators themselves. You can read or listen to her current work on West Seattle Blog, KOMO Newsradio, Sky and Telescope, and 365 Days of Astronomy.
