"I think this book will help the blind community to better
understand the variety of objects in space," explains the
book's author, Noreen Grice, operations coordinator for the
Charles Hayden Planetarium at the Boston Museum of Science.
"This book brings amazing celestial objects, seen with the
Hubble Space Telescope, to the fingertips of the visually
impaired, where they can better understand the universe and
their place within it."
NASA, which helped fund the book, and the publisher, the
Joseph Henry Press, trade imprint of the National Academies
Press (publisher for the National Academy of Sciences), will
publicly release "Touch the Universe" on Thursday, Nov. 21,
at events at both the National Federation of the Blind in
Baltimore, and at DePaul University in Chicago.
