NASA releases audio recording of a black hole that sounds like Hans Zimmer’s tune

NASA scientists have detected the sound of a black hole in the center of the Perseus galaxy cluster more than 200 million light-years from Earth, recorded by the Chandra X-ray Observatory, which sounded like music, according to RT.

The sound waves were recorded in a NASA space telescope, in the form of astronomical data, and then translated into sound that humans can hear. A newly released version that bears a striking resemblance to the score composed by Hans Zimmer, who composed and composed the soundtracks for several films regarding outer space.

And space agency astronomers realized that the hot gas that blankets Perseus, a bundle of galaxies 11 million light-years across, can be translated into sound. This gas, which surrounds hundreds and even thousands of galaxies, provides a medium through which sound waves travel.

Sonication was created by recombining the sound waves of the human hearing range, by raising the volume “57 or 58 octavas” above the true pitch.

Composer Hans Zimmer, who wrote the soundtrack for the Oscar-winning science fiction film Interstellar, has created music very similar to that created by NASA.
