New Delhi, Mar 26 Translating images captured by telescopes into sounds has been found to improve trust and access among visually-impaired persons, along with promoting awareness about accessibility, according to a new research in the US. Astronomical telescopes, such as NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the James Webb Space Telescope, capture light coming from various cosmic sources like stars and …
A mesmerising video has been released on the official Instagram account of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Hubble. In the video, we can hear the sonification of Supernova 1987A which was done using the observations made by the Hubble Space Telescope and NASA Chandra X-ray Observatory. Ty Lee, another commented, “That’s amazing.” Several space enthusiasts also had questions about …
Imagine the rings of Saturn as strings of a harp that you can strum to create music. Three years ago, a trio of astrophysicists and musicians started a science-art outreach project, SYSTEM Sounds, which converts majestic space images into music and sound. A close look at the project website explains that images captured by the Hubble telescope, for instance, were …
People can now ‘listen’ to the centre of the Milky Way as observed in X-ray, optical and infrared light, thanks to a new project which used sonification to turn astronomical images from Chandra and other telescopes into sound. By translating the inherently digital data captured by telescopes in space into images, astronomers create visual representations that would otherwise be invisible …
