Scientists have transformed new data on space telescopes into cosmic sound landscapes, turning the mysterious activity around black holes into a symphony of the universe.
These auditory representations, or SoundingThey were created using data from the NASA Chandra X -ray Observatory, the James Webb space telescope and the X -ray polarimetry explorer (IXPE). By assigning musical notes to various data points, spatial observations can be translated into sound, allowing listeners to “listen” to the cosmos.
The three new soundifications have data from multiple celestial objects, each that represent different aspects, or development internships, or black holes, according to A statement NASA.
The first melody captures the potential birth of a black hole. Surrounds a massive star called WR 124 spilling its external layers violently, producing a brilliant nebula O Gas and dust expelled. Located about 28,000 light years from Earth, WR 124 is known as a Wolf-Rayet star, a brilliant and short-lived massive star, since it approaches at the end of its life, the process of throwing its external layers could end in a dramatic Supernova). That should leave behind a black hole.
The sound of WR 124 begins with a descending shout sound near the star Hot Core and incorporates musical instruments such as flutes, bells, harps and strings as the bright stellar material expands outward, highlighting the turbulent and turbulent transformative phase of the nebulose.
The second sound captures a cosmic duo of SS 433, a system of binary stars located 18,000 light years from the earth where a star similar to the orbit of a more raised partner like a neutrons star or black hole. X -ray fluctuating emissions are translated into different launches and instruments, while the water loss sounds represented bright background stars and the torn notes mean the location of a massive cloud of interstellar dust and gas.
The third and final movement presents Centaurus A, a Galaxy Located 12 million light years from the earth with a supermassive black hole in its center that launches a powerful plane through the galaxy. In this sound, X -ray emissions translate into wind bell and sounds similar to the breeze, while visible light data is transformed the tones of instruments, capture the stars and the structure of the galaxy in a radical musical final.
