ESA Uses Solar Orbiter to Turn Solar Flares into Sound, Offering New Insights
The European Space Agency (ESA), in collaboration with NASA, has used data from the Solar Orbiter mission to convert solar flares into audible sound. By mapping solar flare data into blue circles and pairing them with tones, a new way to experience solar activity has been created. This process is linked to the sun’s 11-year solar cycle, with curr...

NASA Converts Space Sounds Into Music You Can Play
In the latest project, listeners will experience space data through the sense of hearing instead of seeing it as images.

Scientists Are Turning Data Into Sound to Listen to Whispers of the Universe (And More)
Scientists are using data sonification, the process of converting data into sound, to understand space at a deeper level. Its use as a tool in science is still in its early stages, but astronomy groups are leading the way. A new paper, published in Nature Astronomy, discusses the current state of data sonification in astronomy and other fields, and...

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope Provides a Tour Into Universe's Journey Using Data Sonification
NASA has shared an Instagram post that shows the journey of the universe using data sonification. The audio, here, signifies the distance of each galaxy, NASA said. The sonification of the 2014 Hubble Ultra Deep Field plays a single note for each galaxy and the later the note plays in this musical piece, the farther away the galaxy is.

NASA Shares 'Sound' of Butterfly Nebula Created Through Data Sonification
The Butterfly Nebula, also known as NGC 6302, lies within our Milky Way galaxy between 2,500 and 3,800 light-years away, in the constellation Scorpius. It has two “wings” of gas heated to more than 36,000 degrees Fahrenheit (19,982 degrees Celsius).

Sounds From Around The Milky Way
The center of our Milky Way galaxy is too distant for us to visit in person, but we can still explore it. Telescopes give us a chance to see what the galactic center looks like in different types of light. By translating the inherently digital data (in the form of ones and zeroes) captured by telescopes in space into images, astronomers create visu...
