Description

This sonification does not represent sounds recorded in space. Two musicians mapped the telescope’s data to sound, carefully composing music to accurately represent details the team would like listeners to focus on. In a way, this sonification is like modern dance or an impressionist painting — it converts Webb’s image to a new medium to engage and inspire listeners.

Sonification is the process of converting data into sound. It's a method of representing information or data streams through non-speech audio, making patterns and changes in the data perceptible through sound. This technique can be particularly useful for analyzing data patterns, for educational purposes, and for making data accessible to individuals with visual impairments.NASA has utilized sonification in a fascinating way to turn data from space into sound. This process involves translating the information collected by various space missions — such as light, radio waves, or magnetic fields — into audible sounds. It's a unique approach to data analysis and public engagement that transforms the seemingly intangible aspects of space into something that can be heard and experienced.This podcast included sounds NASA has used Sonification to create so space can be experienced in a new and unique way.Galactic CenterCas AM16Bullet ClusterCrab NebulaSN87ASagittarius A* / Galactic CenterEta CarinaeM87 JetSagittarius A* (EHT)Southern Ring NebulaV404 CygniStephan's QuintetNGC 6543CDFM51Westerlund 2TychoM87Perseus ClusterSagittarius A*Carina NebulaWASP-96 bR AquariiM104
