It's time for Babe to wake up. There is a space telescope on the internet.
We understand if you think you didn't know telescopes could make music. A team of scientists and musicians, along with members of the blind and visually impaired community, collaborated to adapt the photos into extraordinary soundscapes.
According to NASA's press release, a professor at the University of Toronto said that music taps into our emotional centers. Listeners can create their own mental images by listening to sound.
NASA said that the sonifications were meant to make astronomy accessible to all. The James Webb has quickly become one of the best things that humankind has done so far, and the imagery it has generated has captured the imagination of many. The idea is that more people will be able to experience the photos by turning them into audio clips.
"Like how written descriptions are unique translations of visual images," said Quyen Hart, a scientist at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Maryland, "sonifications also translate the visual images byEncoding information, like color, brightness, star locations, or water absorption signatures, as sounds
NASA has created audio for several different images, including the Cosmic Cliffs in the Carina Nebula, which is an atmospheric, immersive tune, inspired by gauzy clouds of gas and dusty, and the Southern Ring Nebula, which is a haunting, vacuum-like theme.
This is a great project. Ensuring access for all is long-awaited.
Christine Malec, a member of the blind and low vision community who supports the project, said in the press release that she imagines blind people looking up at the sky.
There are images from NASA's James Webb Telescope.
The first direct image of an exoplanet was taken by James WEBB.
