NASA turns the screams of dying stars into music

Recently, NASA has transformed mysterious signals from black holes and dying stars into a stunning cosmic symphony through innovative “data listenability” technology.
This achievement is based on observation data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory, James Webb Space Telescope, and Imaging X-ray Polarization Explorer (IXPE). Scientists have mapped astronomical data into musical notes, allowing humans to “listen” to the mysteries of the universe.
The three sound processing technologies released by NASA demonstrate different stages of black hole evolution.
The first melody originates from the Wolf Rayet star WR 124, a massive star located approximately 28000 light-years away from Earth, which is violently ejecting outer material and forming a dazzling nebula. Scientists converted X-ray data from its core region into high-frequency “whistling” sounds, which gradually evolved into an interweaving of flute, harp, and string instruments. WR 124 may ultimately end its life with a supernova explosion and collapse into a black hole.
The second audio work is from the binary star system SS 433, located 18000 light-years away. The X-ray fluctuations are transformed into undulating tones, and the background stars are presented in a crisp “droplet sound”.
The last piece of music is from the Centaurus A galaxy, located 12 million light-years away, where the supermassive black hole at its center is ejecting a massive stream of energy. The X-ray data is transformed into ethereal wind chime sound effects, while the visible light data is performed by string instruments.
