In this talk we will demonstrate how we can take multi-sensory approaches to enjoy and study the Universe. We will take you an an introductory tour of projects from around the world that present astronomical data or phenomena through tactile models and sound, with applications for education and for professional research. Crucially, these multi-sensory approaches make astronomy more accessible to those who are blind or who have low vision. Tune in for an array of audio experiences of astronomy, including listening…
