Space images arrive and surprise everyone who reaches them. However, while it is really impressive, there are other elements that the devices we ship pick up that are also breathtaking. This time, we’re talking about sound.
The James Webb Telescope not only sends images…
Although we are already used to receiving great images from space, NASA She focused some of her efforts on collecting votes. This is because, because space is so massive, the sound is definitely not the same as what we know from Earth.
The original purpose of sonication was to help blind people appreciate spatial data. However, the sound captured from space seems to have amassed more fans.
Recently, the US space agency, along with some of its partners, released a series of sonication from the first images taken by the space telescope. James Webb capturing.
Other sounds include the sounds of the Southern Ring Nebula, as well as the ominous sound of the transmission spectrum of the atmosphere of exoplanet WASP-96 b.
Music enters our emotional centers. Our goal is to make Webb's images and data understandable through sound, and to help listeners create their own mental images.
Musician and physics professor Matt Russo, who worked on James Webb's sonication, explained in a statement.
To access sonication, scientists take specific features of an image or data set and translate the information into sounds.
These constructs provide a different way of experiencing the information detailed in James Webb's early data. Just as written descriptions are unique translations of visual images, sonication also translates visual images by encoding information such as color, brightness, star locations, or water absorption signatures such as sounds. Our teams are committed to ensuring that astronomy is accessible to all.
