‘Turn it up’: NASA shares ‘music of spheres’ as it digitally converts Bullet Cluster image

NASA on January 6 shared ‘music of spheres’ as it digitally converted  cosmic im of Bullet Cluster galaxy into a melodious tune using data signification. Taking to its official Twitter handle, ministration shared music produced by mysterious dark matter of cosmic realm for astrophiles to experience it via “or sense than just sight”. “Turn it up,” NASA wrote in caption, as it assigned pitches and volumes to elements of Hubble’s im of E 0657-56 galaxies located 3.72 billion light-years from Earth.

dark matter’s gravity is seen distorting lights from distant colliding galaxies kwn as Bullet Cluster, producing "rmal" matter (pink), in form of hot gas, wrenched away from dark matter (blue) when looked from multi-wavelength observations. X-rays from Chandra depicted different levels of brightness which NASA converted to varying pitches and volumes.

“ Each translation below begins on left side of im and moves to right. sound can travel in , but sonification provides a new way of experiencing and conceptualizing data,” NASA explained. “Sonification allows audience, including blind and visually impaired communities to ‘listen’ to astromical ims and explore ir data,” it ded. 

In data sonification audio, as separation occurs during a collision of two massive galaxy clusters, NASA strategically converts phemen into sounds of a specific frequency range. Data showing dark matter are represented by lowest frequencies, while X-rays showing rmal matter are assigned to highest frequencies.  galaxies in breathtaking im were extracted from Hubble data, NASA informed in a release. Within each layer of Hubble’s capture, sound detonated varies from mid-range frequencies to extremely high, and pitch is set to increase from bottom of im to top so that objects towards top produce higher tones.

Sound of constellation 'Columba'

NASA h earlier produced sounds from im of constellation Columba, embedded in globular cluster Caldwell 73 or NGC 1851. "A globular cluster is a spherical group of stars that are gravitationally bound to each or, with most of stars concentrated at cluster’s center,” ncy explained, as it shared melodious tunes from sonification. “Astromical objects near bottom of im produce lower tes, while those near top produce higher ones,” NASA informed alongside mesmeric clip, which largely astounded cosmophiles.
