👂 Have you ever *heard* an eclipse? Probably not. But you will have that opportunity on April 8! Oswego County Tourism has a LightSound device that uses a technique called sonification which is the process of converting data (or light intensity in this case) to sound. This is an incredible way for people who are visually impaired to enjoy the upcoming solar eclipse.
🔈 Turn your volume up to hear what light transmitted into sound sounds like (in this case, it`s the light from a flashlight.) The clicking in the middle is the sound that will take place during eclipse totality. ☀️🌑☀️
