Faced with the vastness of space, many believe that everything is silent. But NASA shared, this Sunday, August 21, a video on its social networks where we can hear the sound of a black hole coming from the galaxy known as the Perseus cluster. The latter would be located 250 million light-years from our solar system.
Indeed, if most of space is mostly empty, not allowing sound waves to travel, in this case it is the large amount of hot gas surrounding the black hole in the center of the cluster. of Perseus galaxies that allows this noise, according to information from NASA. “A cluster of galaxies contains so much gas that we have picked up real sound. Here it is amplified and mixed with other data to hear a black hole”said the US space agency on its social networks.
