摘要
In this work we describe a tactile planetarium made with the goal of teaching astronomy to visually impaired people, but which is accessible to all. The planetarium consists of two hemispheres representing both the northern and southern hemispheres, with around 72 constellations and more than 500 stars with different apparent magnitudes.
