The Solar System A Tactile Representation

National Aeronautics and Space Administration The Solar System A Tactile 
Representation By: Dr. Cassandra Runyon and Dr. David Hurd Tactile 
Illustrator: John Matelock www.nasa.gov

A Tour of the Tactile:

Welcome to a walkthrough of the Tactile Guide to the Solar System. 
Follow along with
your fingers as we explore. The foldout describes a scale model of our 
solar system. It
is often hard to show both scale to size and scale by distance because 
the sizes are so
different and the distances are so great that it is difficult to combine 
the two. So we
have separated them out into two tactiles. You will find comparative 
distances from the
sun along the bottom of the foldout spanning both pages, and planet 
sizes on the right
hand side of the foldout.
