Can we hear and touch the stars, if we can\u2019t see them? Yuma Decaux is trying to put the night sky into everyone\u2019s hands, through technology and engineering. Find out how stargazing captured Yuma\u2019s imagination when he was six, and how losing his sight inspired him to explore the cosmos in a whole new way - making astronomy accessible to everyone.\xa0\n\nAstreos, Yuma\u2019s app, is currently in Beta. That means that when you try it out, you can give Yuma feedback on how to make it better! Download it on iOs here: https://astreos.space/\n\nListen to our bonus interview episode with Yuma to learn more about how he developed Astreos and what accessibility means to him.
