Webb Telescope Data, Translated to Sound - Cosmic Cliffs: Stars

- Experience the first full-color images and data from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope in a brand new way. A near-infrared image of the Cosmic Cliffs in the Carina Nebula, captured by NASA’s Webb Telescope, has been mapped to a symphony of sounds to create a data sonification. This video plays only the notes that represent stars in the image. 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.
Sonifications support blind and low-vision listeners first, but are designed to be captivating to anyone who tunes in. This sonification, which scans the image from left to right, was adapted to a video to allow sighted viewers to watch as a vertical line moves across the frame.
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 bottom is loud and lower pitched.
This sonification does not represent sounds recorded in space. Two musicians mapped the telescope’s data to sound, carefully composing music to accurately represent details the team would like listeners to focus on. In a way, this sonification is like modern dance or an impressionist painting - it converts Webb’s image to a new medium to engage and inspire listeners. Learn more: www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/...

This is a pretty cool way to make cosmic pictures both more available to those with poor or no eyesight, but also to stimulate the senses and imagination of other people watching and listening. If some people get upset and say "this is wrong music for the stars" - then hopefully they have been inspired to think about what would be the right music for this image:) So well done!
just sent shivers down my spine, what a era for us to be alive
The sounds of starlight! Very clever, great explanation, thank you!.
this would be a great opportunity for a Rickroll....just saying
Funny thing is with the how infinite space is there has to be a star pattern somewhere that make the song.
@@tycro ...
@@tycro bro go learn science
I would have preferred 1 longer video instead of several short ones. Otherwise it is quite cool.
I could fall asleep with these sounds.
thats really cool ngl
These sounds from space are great. They seem to be the messages from the Universe. They remind me of BT tracks and the sounds of the orchestra preparing for the concert.
It sounds Great 😊
Do the clouds next pls
It’s what I would expect space to sound like
Very interesting.
Where are the picture that web takes?
It feels like it were to be counting galaxys and stars with every note
What are the basis considered for those tones...by nasa.
Can't an x-ray telescope have much higher resolution due to less diffraction? Hubble was visible light, Jwst infrared, we need an x-ray next.
So beautiful images if we are to believe this if the telescope lens are so sensitive why wouldn't the space dust and debris wouldn't ruin the lens
Alter the keys for bass please
Any chance of getting a FLAC or WAV version of these tracks?
Immpossible...
Amazing!!!! 🤩🤩
L'espace façon camarel pétillant !
So far pretty pictures and made up music. Waiting for some actual, groundbreaking discoveries... fingers crossed!
Believe it or not, there are many out there. This channel... I truly don't I'm now convinced that they are running an experiment on a chimp to run a channel and see how people react.
Coba kamu buat vidionya berputar 0.25x itu sangat mengganggu
O comentário português que vc está procurando está aqui
That's cool and geeky for sure, I like it. However, the way these 'sounds of the universe' are shared and interpreted down the road by pseudo scientific channels and news outlets always keeps me puzzled...
Think about
Rick astlley song
Never gonna give u up
While listening
It got different
Jokes aside
I hear jazz
Hire someone with social media experience to run this channel. You can't just dump all the videos at once and expect any engagement
Wdym? They dump Alot of Videos because this is the Offical JWST channel and they get terabytes of data from the telescope a day if not more.
No one commented "Awesome" yet?? Incredible. Sorry this is actually nothing special.
Hopefully blind people can read the explanation, otherwise they might think they're hearing actual sounds from space.
سبحان الله
not as exciting as you may think it is
Who asked
NOT sounds from space.
Read the Title Again..
kindergarden level science.
I'm the wrong age bracket for this channel. You can take any set of data, push it through a filter, run it through a massaged MIDI interpreter and get musical notes. If every one that watched this clip farted into a mic and sent it to NASA, we could make the same sort of melody.
Weird idea. Fart Sound Processing, a science experiment that every kid (no age restriction) with a mic across the globe can get in on. It would give NASA a whole bunch of new data for noise reduction algorithms, finding specific events in their data, sorting event starts and ends, finding the source and composition for the data collected. All the same things NASA are trying to figure out from the WEBB images. But with a whole other data set.
Farts!
I bet NASA could find all the major differences and similarities in what people eat, just by filtering the sound of their farts.
I LOVE WHAT YOU WROTE!!
I can't believe people are cheering this rubbish on! First it was kids drawings, now fart heavily filtered fart sounds! Why isn't there oversight on the people running this channel? What an absolute shame.
That's funny 🤣🤣
Was this paid for from the $10 billion in building cost or the $5 billion operating cost?
The Webb Space Telescope spent that famous 10 billion dollars over a 30-year period for a project that is now expected to last at least a decade.
The US military burns through 10 billion dollars *every five days,* but you and your friends want to whine about the exploration of the universe as a waste of your precious tax dollars? Give it a rest, goofy. 🙄
These Midi keyboard sounds are an insult to these images. You should give the MIDI note table to an experienced arranger and let him orchestrate a piece that can be performed by an orchestra of real human beings.
Eight uploads totalling less than four and a half minutes, all dumped at the same time? You know, you could've just stitched them together and made it one upload.
No offense intended, but while you might be expanding the horizons of human knowledge you certainly have a lot to learn about all the internet works.
Please, stop making the official James Webb Space Telescope channel look so amateurish and inept. We rarely hear from you and, when we do, it hardly seems worth the trip. 🧐
God is so beautiful ✨🪐
