Have you seen the sonification videos by NASA which translate data from outer space into sound? If yes, then this new addition to the list will win you over. Even if you haven’t, let this video be your first. In any scenario, this is a clip that will leave you mesmerised – and even wanting for more.
Shared on the official Instagram account for NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, the video shows sonification of the Crab Nebula. Though shared on Instagram on December 9, the video was also shared on YouTube last month. The caption on YouTube explains about the Nebula in detail.
According to the post, the Crab Nebula first appeared in Earth’s sky in 1054 AD. “Modern telescopes have captured its enduring engine powered by a quickly spinning neutron star that formed when a massive star collapsed. The combination of rapid rotation and a strong magnetic field generates jets of matter and anti-matter flowing away from its poles, and winds outward from its equator,” it added.
