The scientist also described that the shining light on the top of the picture is a high pitch sound and claims that the intensity of lights in the Milky Way regulates the sound volume. Scientists wrote, "The light of objects located towards the top of the image is pitched higher, while the intensity of the light controls the volume. Stars and compact sources are converted into individual notes, while extended clouds of gas and dust produce an evolving drone," they added.
