On Monday, people across the United States will have the opportunity to witness a total solar eclipse, with some experiencing it in a unique way - through sound. Harvard University astronomers have developed a device called LightSound that converts the visual spectacle of the eclipse into an auditory symphony.
The LightSound device maps the intensity of light during the eclipse to different musical tones, allowing individuals with blindness or low vision to follow the progress of the celestial event. This innovative technology was created by astronomers at Harvard, led by Allyson Bieryla, who saw the need for a multi-sensory experience of the eclipse.
