Coming Soon Events:
Transcribing the Sky!
July 27th & August 16th
3:00 PM
The first image from the James Webb Space Telescope was released to the
world on July 11th.  What does this image show?  What is the science behind
it? Josh Urban returns to LBPD to host a conversation with youth ages 7- 17
years about the James Webb Space Telescope’s most recent observations.
Share your perspective on the best way to communicate the telescope’s
findings to the blind and low-vision communities. Should the pictures be
converted to sound? Should they produce 3D printed graphics? Your thoughts
are important to us. Part one of this two-part event is on July 27th at
3:00 PM, with the follow-up session occurring on August 16th.
