What does the universe sound like?

undefined 10, 2024

The universe, though visually stunning, can also be experienced through sound thanks to "sonifications." Kim Arcand and her team at the Smithsonian use data from telescopes to create sounds from celestial phenomena. Partnering with SYSTEM Sounds, they turn light data into music, offering new ways to experience the cosmos. Their album "Universal Harmonies" showcases these sounds, making space accessible to the visually impaired and enhancing the study of astronomy through audio experiences.
