Well, that work has become a little easier thanks All about OrionNew book by Dean Regas.

Regas first defines what a constellation is and then provides a brief description of how to identify the size of the Orion. The following three star patterns are single-page chapters that are directly related to the mythology of Orion: “The Seven Sisters,” “Scorpion the Scorpion,” and “Taurus the Bull.”
Five more chapters- “The Three Belt Stars,” “Betilazuseuse,” “The Orion Nebula,” and “The Horshed Nebula”-Describe the two most famous deep-skai objects in the most bright stars and constellations.
Two more chapters, “Create your own constellation” and “Make your own stars story” allow young readers to a little bit for creative interactions.
But what separates the book is that the publisher has included transported pages with dots raised that anyone knows. There are pages in the paperback book that allow someone to detect patterns of items discussed on the previous page. The spiral bound version adds complete text to Braille.
This would be an amazing additional for any child’s library, and an important will be an important for the visually impaired students. Good work, dean!
