NASA releases audio tracks that translate photos and data from the James Webb Space Telescope

NASA has released audio tracks that translate photos and data from the James Webb Space Telescope.

Sonification, a technique used to create soundscapes, was used.

Carina Nebula images were turned into a sparkling, melodic track.

An eerie track with wind-like whooshes and plucking noises.

NASA has released audio data from the James Webb Space Telescope’s infrared spectrometer on the Southern Ring Nebula.

To represent different wavelengths of light, the images were converted into sound pitches.

This isn’t the first time NASA has used sound to explore recent images of space.

Last month, the agency released an audio clip of a black hole more than 250 million light years away from Earth.
