If you love all kinds of space stuff, here's a video that you may be thrilled to listen to, even at night! NASA has recently uploaded the sound of 'Milky Way' from its data sonification technology. Who may have thought being in space is this so relaxing?
What does 'Milky Way' sounds like?
As explained, the video was an output of data sonification technology.
NASA collected the images of the Milky Way in different lights. Then begins translation on the left side of the image and moves to the right, with the sounds representing the position and brightness of the sources.
The light of objects located towards the top of the image are heard as higher pitches, while the intensity of the light controls the volume.
Stars and compact sources are converted to individual notes while extended gas and dust clouds produce an evolving drone. The crescendo (the highest tune) happens when reaching the bright region to the lower right of the image.
And that how it's done!
What does 'Milky Way' sounds like here on Earth?
