Blind people can hear and feel April's total solar eclipse with new technology


While eclipse watchers look to the skies, people who are blind or visually impaired will be able to hear and feel the celestial event.

Sound and touch devices will be available at public gatherings on April 8, when a total solar eclipse crosses North America, the moon blotting out the sun for a few minutes. AP correspondent Jackie Quinn reports on devices being made available to help people who are visually impaired enjoy the upcoming solar eclipse. Sophomore Jazmine Nelson is looking forward to joining the crowd expected at NASA’s big eclipse-watching event at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where the tablet will be available.
