  1. Stephan's Quintet: A Multi-wavelength Exploration

    Sonification | Videos
    This visualization explores the galaxy group Stephan's Quintet by using observations in visible, infrared, and X-ray light. The sequence contrasts images from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, Spitzer...
    Four galaxies appear close to each other in the sky: two in the middle, one toward the top, and one to the upper left. The galaxies appear to be touching. The galaxies are large relative to the hundreds of much smaller (more distant) galaxies in the background. All four galaxies have bright white cores and have streaks of blue and red. Some of the galaxies are peppered with white dust-like specks. Each galaxy is unique in size, shape, structure, and exact coloring. Scattered across the image, in front of the galaxies, are a number of foreground stars with diffraction spikes: bright white points, each with eight bright lines radiating out from the center.

  2. Sonifications of Webb's Images of the Southern Ring Nebula

    Audio | Sonification
    NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope uncovered two views of the Southern Ring Nebula – in near-infrared light (at left) and mid-infrared light (at right) – and each has been adapted to sound....
    Video still frame showing a glowing vertical line as it sweeps across near-infrared and mid-infrared images that have been sonified.

  3. Sonifications of Webb's Image of the Cosmic Cliffs in the Carina Nebula

    Audio | Sonification
    There’s an immersive way to explore some of the first full-color infrared images and data from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope – through sound. Listeners can enter the complex soundscape...

  4. Sonification of Webb's Transmission Spectrum of Exoplanet WASP-96 b

    Audio | Sonification
    NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope observed the atmospheric characteristics of the hot gas giant exoplanet WASP-96 b – which contains clear signatures of water – and the resulting transmission...

  5. A Universe of Sound

    Sonification
    Every sound begins with a vibration. When those vibrations travel through the air, they can enter the human eardrum where they are eventually turned into electrical signals that our brain interprets as...
