I was recently made aware of an article posted on the HubbleSite entitled "NASA Unveils Cosmic Images Book in Braille for Blind Readers" regarding the release of the book "Touch the Invisible Sky" which is an astronomy book for the blind and visually impaired.
I want to write more about this, but I am running a little late so I will follow up in a few days or so, but here are a few more links regarding the book:

Please fee free to comment regarding this great new book for blind and visually impaired astronomers.
Regards!
