Science is Fun Fridays!
A new project is turning NASA data images into sound using sonification.
They started with "Sounds from Around the Milky Way."
Spitzer Telescope data focused on the gas and dust clouds, Hubble spotted the bright stars, and Chandra brings in the remnants of stellar explosions, including the centerpiece, Sagittarius A.
They then looked at one of the most famous images, "The Pillars of Creation."
This image covers the visible and X-Ray spectrum from Hubble and Chandra.
Lastly, they worked on "Cassiopeia A" but there isn't a YouTube video for that.
Located 11,000 light years away, light from this explosion reached Earth in 1667. The sounds in this melody are linked with high-energy detection and the four main elements of the supernova: silicon, sulfur, calcium, and iron.
