EXPERIENCE SPACE THROUGH SOUND WATCH: NASA released a sonification of the Whirlpool Galaxy, in which four types of light—infrared, optical, ultraviolet, and X-ray—are represented by music. “No sound can travel in space, but sonifications provide a new way of experiencing and conceptualizing data,” according to the space agency. “Sonifications allow the audience, including blind and visually impaired communities, to 'listen' to astronomical images and explore their data.” | 🎥NASA/CXC/SAO/K.Arcan

Sound on! 🎧 Data from several NASA telescopes, including Hubble, combine in this sonification of the Whirlpool Galaxy. We can experience the image in a whole new way by representing the data seen here in sound! More Hubble sonifications: https://go.nasa.gov/3cXOWQC Credits: NASA/CXC/SAO/K.Arcand, SYSTEM Sounds (M.
