NASA Releases A 'Creepy Black Hole Remix' Startling The Internet

Who would have thought that black holes could make sounds?

The idea that black holes are silent, lifeless voids are widely held by many. Although the first statement is true, the second is a misconception.

This holds to be true with the Perseus galaxy cluster, which has a large gas volume that allowed researchers to capture its sound. Astronomers have long associated this region with sounds since they discovered that pressure waves were sent out by the black hole and produced ripples in the cluster's hot gas.

According to NASA, this indicates that humans cannot hear some 57 octaves below middle C. However, this is now possible through NASA's sonification remix, which provides more notes to the black hole sound machine.

NASA's Exoplanets' Twitter page rereleased an audio remix of what a black hole sounds like, pointing to the Perseus galaxy cluster that the agency has recently studied.

The tweet stated that although black holes are objects that are gigantic vacuums swallowing anything from sound to light, they are not completely soundless, as has been suggested by earlier studies.

But since there is so much gas in the Perseus galaxy cluster's area, the sound was picked up and recorded and is now available as black hole audio.

Sounds of Hell?

What people hear on NASA's output is eerie and ominous, and it might keep someone up at night. Black holes naturally produce haunting sounds, which NASA has only amplified so that the general public can hear and recognize the sounds produced by the space anomaly.

Although the idea of the remix is fascinating, Twitter users were startled after hearing the audio. Some of them alluded to the remix to the sound of tortured souls in hell.

Here are some of the best memes and reactions that we have gathered so far:
