NASAIt made audible the sound waves coming from a gigantic black hole 250 million light-years away. Of this black hole at the center of the Perseus star cluster The emitted acoustic waves were shifted 57 and 58 octaves higher, at a frequency that the human ear can detect. This audio recording, released in 2022, causes the black hole in space to be perceived as a terrifying and angry howl.

In 2003, astronomers discovered gas around the giant black hole in the Perseus star cluster. sound waves spread he had discovered. However, these waves do not directly appeal to the human ear. Thanks to NASA’s sonification work, we can hear these sound waves as they reverberate through intergalactic space. B flat, the lowest note detected in 2003, is 57 octaves below middle C and its frequency is measured as 10 million years. The lowest note that humans can detect is only about twenty seconds.

Sounds coming from the black hole have a frequency 144 quadrillion times higher

sound wavesthat radiates outward from the black hole and rotates counterclockwise. With this method, sounds can be heard from all directions of the black hole at 144 quadrillion and 288 quadrillion times higher frequencies. Sounds can also provide important information about temperatures and energy transfers in clusters of galaxies.

audio conversions, cosmic events It makes it more understandable and gives more information about the depths of the universe. In addition, studies that include both acoustic data and optical and X-ray data help to better understand intergalactic phenomena.
