Printed with a new technology called “technobraille,” a process in which epoxy is applied to the printed page to facilitate embossing it with braille and tactile images, Touch the Invisible Sky is one of five tactile astronomy books written by astronomer Noreen Grice. Endorsed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the books are designed to allow blind and visually impaired people to better comprehend celestial objects and the distant universe.
