NASA reveals how space’s ‘Cosmic Reef’ sounds like as Hubble marks 30th anniversary

NASA’s recent foot of data sonification of ’s ‘Cosmic Reef’ on occasion of Hubble’s 30th anniversary has left internet mesmerized. ncy converted a portrait of a firestorm of star birth in a neighbouring galaxy 163,000 light-years away into a pattern of sound of varying pitches. Sharing im of two nebulae, giant red nebula (NGC 2014), and its smaller blue neighbor (NGC 2020), which are a part of Large Mllanic Cloud, NASA asked astrophiles on Instagram if y ever wondered “What does Cosmic Reef ‘sound’ like?”

NASA translated Hubble Telescope’s iconic digital imry into a sound that began left side from smaller blue neighbour of im and grually moved rightward to red cosmic nebula. NASA explained in caption alongside sonification that re red part depicted presence of hydrogen and nitrogen, and blue indicated oxygen. higher pitches were assigned to NGC 2020 while lower pitches were formulated on NGC 2014. “re’s sound in , but sonification let us conceptualize information in ims with our ears,” NASA wrote on alongside Hubble’s imry of Nebulae that resembled undersea.

Nebulae resembles coral reef in seas

According to NASA, Hubble’s im is nicknamed as "Cosmic Reef," because NGC 2014 resembles part of a coral reef floating in a vast sea of stars which are gigantic. “ nebula's sparkling centerpiece is a grouping of bright, hefty stars, each 10 to 20 times more massive than our Sun,” NASA informed in a release. Furr, it explained that isolated blue nebula at point where lower pitch is recorded is created out of solitary mammoth star which is approximately 200,000 times brighter than sun. Some eruptive events in outer envelope of NGC 2020 caused blue gas to ooze out of stars. 

Speaking about spectacular Cosmic Reef captured by Hubble, associate ministrator for science at NASA Hequarters in Washington, D.C said that it was NASA’s revolutionary launch that such a large telescope was sent into some 30 years ago, and this astromy powerhouse is still delivering revolutionary science today. Due to crystal-clear sharpness of range of wavelengths of its ultraviolet to near-infrared lights, Cosmic Reef can be heard producing distinct iconic sounds.
