What if you could hear @NASAWebb data?
There’s a new, immersive way to explore three of the first full-color infrared images and data from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope – through sound. Listeners can enter the complex soundscape of the Cosmic Cliffs in the Carina Nebula, explore the contrasting tones of two images that depict the Southern Ring Nebula, and identify the individual data points in a transmission spectrum of hot gas giant exoplanet WASP-96 b. To learn more and find all of these sonifications, go to @NASAWebb’s link in bio.
In this video, the data of Webb’s “Cosmic Cliffs” in the Carina Nebula has been sonified, or translated to sound. The gas and dust in the blue portion of the image have windy, drone-like sounds, while a meandering melodic line represents the rise and fall of the “mountain range” portion. All stars are represented by a combination of pitches and processed piano notes, but the brightest stars with longer diffraction spikes also carry crashes and clangs from cymbals.
Brighter light in the image is louder. The vertical position of light also dictates the frequency of sound. For example, bright light near the top of the image sounds loud and high, but bright light near the middle is loud and lower pitched. Dimmer, dust-obscured areas that appear lower in the image are represented by lower frequencies and clearer, undistorted notes.

Ти харесваш ли пингвини? 🐧 А знаеше ли, че през 1972 г. един от тях е бил обявен за... рицар? ⚔️ Полковник сър Нилс Олаф живее в зоопарк в Шотландия. Той е талисман на Норвежката кралска гвардия и носи звание „полковник-шеф“. 😮 На 15 август 2008 г. е посетен от гвардейци и удостоен с рицарско звание, което е било одобрено лично от норвежкия крал Харалд V. 🤴 #uchase #funfacts #didyouknow #crazyfacts #unbelievablefacts #funfacts #interestingfacts #penguin #penguinfacts #nilsolaf #penguinknight #animalfacts #ilovepenguins
Готов ли си за предизвикателство номер 7️⃣? Сигурно знаеш, че човек трябва да засади поне едно дърво през живота си. 🌳 Е, точно това е и нашето предизвикателство към теб тази седмица.

We are ready. We are going! 🚀
Artemis stands ready. Ready to turn dreams into reality. Ready to return humanity to the Moon, and take us farther than ever before. The culmination of inspiration and innovation of herculean efforts and steadfast collaboration—#Artemis I is ready for departure.
Monday, Aug. 29, the uncrewed flight test of the Space Launch System with the Orion spacecraft stacked atop it will launch into space for a journey around the far side of the Moon and back. Along the way it will conduct revolutionary research that will lay the path ahead for future crewed Artemis missions to the Moon and eventually on to Mars.
Our live coverage of the Aug. 29 launch starting at 6:30 a.m. EDT (10:30 UTC). Watch on our Facebook, Twitter, Twitch, and in 4K on YouTube accounts, as well as on nasa.gov/live and NASA TV.
Image Description: Artemis I on the launch pad at sunset. In the distance the white and orange livery of the Space Launch System and Orion spacecraft are visible upright at the launch pad. Attached to the rocket is a large metallic grey support structure. To the left and right of the rocket are two tall and thin lightning towers. In the foreground of the image the silhouette of shrubbery is visible dominating the lower third of the image. The background of the upper portion of the image is a picturesque Florida sunset, with puffy and wispy white clouds and a sky painted with cozy hues of orange, pink, and red.

Ти обичаш ли сладолед на клечка? 🍦 Е, почакай да чуеш как се е появил той! През 1905 г. 11-годишният тогава Франк Еперсън оставил лъжица в чаша с лимонада. 👀 Тогава било толкова студено, че лимонадата замръзнала през нощта и така се появила първата ледена близалка. 🥶 Около 18 г. по-късно Хари Буст, приятел на Еперсън, патентова първия ванилов сладолед на клечка, покрит с шоколад. 🤩 #uchase #funfacts #weirdfacts #interestingfacts #unbelievablefacts #didyouknow #icecreamfacts #icecream #iloveicecream #popsicle #didyouknow
