Webb Telescope Data, Translated to Sound - Southern Ring Nebula

- Опубликовано: 30 авг 2022
- Experience the first full-color images and data from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope in a brand new way. In this video, each of Webb's two views of the Southern Ring Nebula - in near-infrared light (at left) and mid-infrared light (at right) - has been adapted to sound.
Sonifications support blind and low-vision listeners first, but are designed to be captivating to anyone who tunes in. This sonification, which scans the images from left to right, was adapted to a video to allow sighted viewers to watch as a vertical line moves across the frame.
Two stars orbit one another at the center of this planetary nebula. The smaller, fainter red star in the mid-infrared image at right is at the end of its lifetime. It has puffed off layers of gas and dust for thousands of years. Its companion, the brighter, larger star in both images, has stirred up those ejections. Now, listeners can hear the stars and surrounding shells of material in each image clearly.
The colors in the images were mapped to pitches of sound, with frequencies of light converted directly to frequencies of sound. Near-infrared light is represented by a higher range of frequencies at the beginning of the track. Mid-way through, the notes change, becoming lower overall to reflect that mid-infrared includes longer wavelengths of light.
Listen carefully at 15 seconds and 44 seconds. These notes align with the centers of the near- and mid-infrared images, where the stars at the center of the “action” appear. In the near-infrared image that begins the track, only one star is heard clearly, with a louder clang. In the second half of the track, listeners will hear a low note just before a higher note, which denotes that two stars were detected in mid-infrared light. The lower note represents the redder star that created this nebula, and the second is the star that appears brighter and larger.
This sonification does not represent sounds recorded in space. Two musicians mapped the telescope’s data to sound, carefully composing music that represents near- and mid-infrared light, specifically to hear their contrasts. In a way, this sonification is like modern dance or an abstract painting - it converts two of Webb’s images into a new medium to engage and inspire listeners.

uh oh
NASA: the southern ring nebula seems so beautiful and pacific
The southern ring nebula: [screams in agony and suffering]
Is really beautiful

nice
@@manumaravilla It's is reality 100%
Just found this. Great stuff. A tip though: Try scanning from the bottom of the image to the top, and use QSound (or similar) wide stereo that puts the object sounds where they are as it scans upwards.. I think the affect would be quite interesting.
Very interesting indeed!
Amazing idea!
Awesome !!!
hilarious notes popping up from time to time. like a tranquilized modular synth
Wow😍😍😍😍
Awesome
Humorous thing this created in my mind.. The General Lee car squealing tires in an attempt to outrun a ghastly ghoul hot on its tail.. Amazing Work.
Che, meraviglia, questi, suoni, celestiale,,
That felt more than a minute
Woah
I am hipnotize😂
One wonders what this would write using Rock Star coding syntax.
Aaah, so The Clangers DO exist
La ligne centrale compte ?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
nein, just a divider to separate the two
Okay, thanks.
Thats creepy and scary
What exactly is it translating? Kind of seems like an old player piano roll.
it says "all your bases are belong to us"
Frequências de luz.
@@user-jw8ly4pl2r yeah, I get that. But the you see the whole picture at one time, but it is being "translated" left to right. It seems kind of gimmicky... maybe it is, maybe it isn't. I'm just wondering if there is some value that I just don't understand.
sim, eu entendo isso. Mas você vê a imagem inteira de uma só vez, mas está sendo "traduzida" da esquerda para a direita. Parece meio enigmático... talvez seja, talvez não seja. Eu só estou querendo saber se há algum valor que eu simplesmente não entendo.
desculpe se a tradução estiver ruim... google tradutor.
Read the video description. :-)
@@TheJmills39 Entendo seu ponto. 'Deficiente visuais' talvez seja uma melhor resposta. ✌️

Sounds like Radiohead and Pink Floyd.

Copy that
Is there any point to this, or is it just a waste of precious resources?
a: It's almost nothing thing to do this. Correlate and assign the 'visible' to 'audible' spectrum, run program, voila. The line across the video is a timed sweep, easily done with today's computers and programs. It costs very little to maybe even nothing as it's someone's side project for fun.
b: It's interesting and might get others to be more interested in astronomy/science. Hearing the weird correlation of visible to audible might pique their curiosity and get them into STEAM, which is good.
c: Those who can't see might enjoy this representation of the images we've gotten from Webb.
d: Science can be art too, nothing wrong with that.
Is someone getting a paycheck for this nonsense? We want science not someone's art project.

For what that's worth. Good day, entity.
Pretty sure the raw data has another 'scientific' purpose. This seems just a visual/auditory output, extra credit worthy. Rather like your child's macaroni picture with spilled uncooked pasta! Eat dinner and be awed and appreciative!
Why? Total waste of resources and taxpayer dollars. This site hasn't posted any science in how long? That's all you got?
So science isn't supposed to be open to the blind, you know, those with no visual sight? You clearly take your visual sight for granted and what, think one size fits all, YOU, only YOU and any copy or clone of YOU is who science is for? "Waste" is subjective so IMO it's a waste of a soul if it belongs to a character who is unable to see beyond their own subjective reality. Forget science, you should study yourself because what "you got" is pretty shallow on the subject of humanity.
