If you\u2019ve ever wondered what space sounds like,\u00a0NASA\u00a0has you covered.<\/p>\n

The space agency has posted several videos of what two supernovae and a colliding cluster of galaxies \u201csound\u201d like, thanks to its\u00a0\u201cdata sonification\u201d program.<\/p>\n

The Bullet Cluster, a cluster of galaxies 3.7 billion light-years from Earth that provided the first evidence of dark matter, can be seen via gravitation lensing in this video.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn converting this into sound, the data pan left to right, and each layer of data was limited to a specific frequency range,\u201d NASA wrote on its\u00a0website<\/a>. \u201cData showing dark matter are represented by the lowest frequencies, while X-rays are assigned to the highest frequencies. The galaxies in the image revealed by Hubble data, many of which are in the cluster, are in mid-range frequencies. Then, within each layer, the pitch is set to increase from the bottom of the image to the top so that objects towards the top produce higher tones.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Chandra X-ray Observatory, which has been looking at far-off galaxies for nearly a generation, helped in the production of this video of the Crab Nebula, which was first discovered in 1054 AD.<\/p>\n

NASA added that the \u201cenduring engine\u201d of the nebula can be seen with modern telescopes. The rotation of the nebula and its strong magnetic field, which \u201cgenerates jets of matter and anti-matter flowing away from its poles,\u201d were translated into different wavelengths, each paired with a different family of instrument.<\/p>\n
