SOUNDS OF BUTTERFLY NEBULA Volume up! NASA Hubble shared an image of the Butterfly Nebula which was created by a dying star. According to NASA, the dying star has become exceptionally hot which caused ultraviolet lights to shine brightly over the butterfly’s wings and caused the gas to glow. In this video, scientists used strings and synthetic tones to represent the nebula in sound. Credits: NASA Hubble; @SYSTEMSounds (M. Russo, A.

🐱 👁️ 🎵 Experience the Cat’s Eye Nebula through sound! In this data sonification, information in the image is represented as music. A radar-like scan of the image emanates from the center point of the nebula and moves clockwise to produce pitch. Light that is further from the center is heard as higher pitches while brighter light is louder. X-rays from the Chandra X-ray Observatory are represented by a harsher sound, while the visible light data from Hubble sound smoother. Credits: NASA/CXC/SA
