A sound-making device that could help blind people or those with some level of visual impairment experience the rare total solar eclipse, which was seen across South America on Wednesday. The device that features a change in the frequency of sounds, was designed by Puerto Rican astrophysicist Wanda Díaz Merced. /VCG Photo

Blind people in Cachiyuyo, Chile, "listened" to the rare phenomenon, which was the first since the Great American Eclipse of August 2017, through the sound-making device on Tuesday. /VCG Photo

The device can "translate" a greater amount of light into high-pitched sounds and greater darkness into bass sounds, Chilean astronomer Catalina Arcos told Reuters. /VCG Photo

"It’s like a gift from science to be able to live this sensitive experience that we could not otherwise experience," Octavio Oyarzún, a professor of music and blind from birth, described the amazing experience to Reuters. /VCG Photo
