Abstract
Astronomy learning for deaf is currently a remote possibility in Brazil, something that hardly happens or, when it happens, it is usually very limited. In order to improve astronomy education for deaf children and the school-aged youth, it is necessary to expand the resources of the Brazilian Sign Language (Libras, acronym in brazilian portuguese), to strengthen the preparation of teachers, to develop teaching resources more aligned with sensory experience of the deaf and even of rethinking organizational aspects in classroom settings. Astronomy is very important for the educational background of the deaf and has a significant role in its introduction of the fundamentals of science and to motivate students for scientific knowledge.
