Who says blind people can't observe, too?

My goal is to share my enthusiasm for amateur astronomy observation with as many people as I can. I was thinking that the audio Space Walk Among the Stars guides would be great for blind and partially blind people, except it's completely visual based. So I thought, why not at least try to translate the visual aspect into the sense of touch and make a virtual Space Walk for someone who has never seen the night sky? So I did. Hopefully it conveys some of the pleasure and wonder of observing the night sky.
