The Eclipse Soundscapes Project app is specially designed so that people who are blind and visually impaired can share in the awe and wonder of astronomical events in real time with their sighted peers. The app is a joint effort between The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO), NASAs Heliophysics Education Consortium (HEC), the National Center for Accessible Media (NCAM), and the National Park Service (NPS). During the next five years, the app will expand to include other eclipses and astronomical objects of interest giving people who are blind and visually impaired and everyone else a new way to engage with the universe around them.
