NASA has discovered music from our galaxy using a technique known as sonification – the process of translating data into sound.
The project turns X-ray, visible and infrared light data – gathered from the far areas of the Milky Way by three NASA telescopes – into audio.
By translating the digital data, which takes the form of ones and zeroes, NASA has brought to life the Galactic Centre – the rotational centre of the Milky Way – with a peaceful, tinkling soundscape.
