Shared on NASA Chandra X-ray Observatory’s official Instagram profile, the clip is absolutely incredible.

“New sounds dropping today: Cat's Eye Nebula, Whirlpool Galaxy, & Chandra Deep Field South! Data sonifications like these allow listeners to hear information from cosmic objects and experience them in a different way,” reads the caption shared in the post.

Since being posted about 12 hours ago, the video has already gathered nearly 40,000 views – and the numbers are only increasing. Along with that, it has also accumulated tons of comments.

“So I'm mesmerised , enchanted & slightly weirded out (in a good way!),” wrote an Instagram user. Truth be told, we connect to that sentiment too. “I felt like was listening to Walt Disney music then fell into this twilight zone sounds, it’s so amazing,” shared another. “Amazing,” said a third.
