A Blind Eye View: Blind Alamogordans Explore Space Through Touch and Sound By Jedi Moerke - NewsBreak

The idea of stargazing as a blind person might sound improbable, if not altogether impossible. But, believe it or not, it's a thing. My fellow members of the Otero NAACP asked me to do a presentation on a gathering of blind eclipse viewers at the New Mexico Museum of Space History earlier this year and asked how a blind person participates in astronomy. I am certainly no expert, but I can share my experience with the eclipse viewing at the museum and with non-visual astronomy in general.
