Touch The Universe: A NASA Braille Book of Astronomy was funded by a NASA grant received by Dr. Bernhard Beck-Winchatz of DePaul University. Noreen Grice developed the text and tactile illustrations. Benning Wentworth (Colorado School for the Deaf and Blind) evaluated the tactile images with his students.
A student, shown on the right, reviews a prototype image of the Eagle Nebula.
You can see an image of the book's cover and more pictures of Benning's students at the NASA link below.
