Astronomy book for the blind

Via NPR the other day, it doesn’t do justice to the book, “Touch the Invisible Sky,” to say it’s merely an astronomy book for the blind, but there are fantastic images used to communicate the world beyond our world, images that the blind can’t obviously see. How then to communicate the majesty of space when so much of astronomy is about the study of light?

Here’s more about design for the blind at Accessible Design for the Blind, and Lighthouse International.
