The famous star-forming region known as the Pillars of Creation was revisited yesterday in a stunning new image reveal from our telescope teammate NASA's James Webb Space Telescope! Check it out: https://www.nasa.gov/ feature/goddard/2022/nasa-s-webb-takes-star-filled-portrait-of-pillars-of-creation
But beyond looking at the pillars, we can listen to them too.
This is a data sonification that features information from Hubble and Chandra X-ray Observatory.
Scientists represent data as sound to give us a different way of experiencing the image. Sounds are generated by moving horizontally across the image from left to right as seen in both Hubble's visible light and Chandra's X-ray light. The vertical position of the recorded light controls the pitch.
