My signature thematic statement, in this production I have incorporated 'data sonification' arrangements collected from NASA's Chandra X-Ray Observatory in which telescopic data from 66 far-flung galaxies and black holes are translated into audible arrangements—that is to say, music.
Astronomical data collected by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes which are converted into sounds, data sonification maps the data from these space-based telescopes into a form that users can hear instead of only see, embodying the data in a new form without changing the original content.
“The wide range of musical frequencies [in the arrangement] represents the full range of X-ray frequencies collected by Chandra of this region,” NASA said
When a star like the Sun begins to run out of helium to burn, it will blow off huge clouds of gas and dust. These outbursts can form spectacular structures such as the one seen in the Cat's Eye Nebula.
On lovely cumulus and preferably without shoes, it is without effort that this ethereally tranquil, atmospheric composition will summon the listener to imagine themselves On Top Of a Cloud...
