Tactile Images: Galaxies and Universe Images
About Educational Resource
Bring the wonders of the universe to everyone, regardless of their visual ability. A library of many Hubble Space Telescope images has been designed to be downloaded and printed on microcapsule paper, then puffed in a thermal fuser. These specially prepared PDFs include Braille headings and embedded text for screen readers that describe the featured celestial object and what astronomers are learning about it. A large-print text-only PDF is also provided with each image. This file has been optimized for low-vision users and screen readers.
