“A Touch of the Universe” is a project to develop tactile 3D models of planets and other celestial bodies to engage people with vision impairments in Astronomy.

The project has been funded mainly by the International Astronomical Union’s Office of Astronomy for Development (until 2017). From 2022 to 2025 it has been funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, and the European Union NextGenerationEU/PRTR, PDC2022-133930-I00.
