Tactile Astronomy supports the Hubble Education Program's efforts in bringing the wonders of the universe to everyone, regardless of their visual ability. This new section of the Amazing Space Website features "Images of the Month;" a collection of the latest Hubble images that can be printed in a tactile format. The images are specifically designed to be downloaded and printed on a thermal paper expansion machine, thus allowing the visually impaired to feel what they cannot see. In addition, there is a "special projects" section that currently features the limited-edition Tactile Carina Nebula booklet and accompanying materials, such as background text about the Carina Nebula and an audio tour. The opening of Tactile Astronomy is in celebration of Hubble's 20th anniversary and features the 20th anniversary image of a small portion of the Carina Nebula. New tactile images and additional projects will continue to be added to the site.
