Listen here: New sonifications of well-known black holes have been released for #BlackHoleWeek⚫!#1 The Perseus galaxy cluster — famous for sound waves detected around its black hole by Chandra, some 57 octaves below middle C.

NASA‘s Hubble Space Telescope has shared a video on Instagram that shows sonification of data of Cat's Eye nebula captured by it and the agency's Chandra X-ray observatory. “Experience the Cat's Eye nebula through sound,” the post said.A planetary…

A study of different sounds captured by NASA's Perseverance rover on Mars has revealed that sound waves behave differently on the Red Planet. The study found that sound travels much more slowly on Mars than it travels on Earth. It also behaved in some unexpected ways that could have consequences in setting up communications platforms on Mars when humans colonise it. However, the slowing down of sound waves makes sense as the speed of sound mostly depends on the density of the atmosphere sound waves are travelling. The…

While the Engine Speaker can happily blast out your top tunes delivered via a smartphone’s Bluetooth connection, it can…
