NASA revealed this week, specifically on August 21, through its social network accounts the sound that a black hole.
Through Twitter, the NASA team of exoplanets, who define themselves as researchers “looking for planets and life beyond the solar system” shared the audio on Monday, detailing the pressure waves that move in waves form.
They explain that this sound occurs due to the pressure of a black hole and propagates through a cluster of Perseus galaxies.
“The misconception that there is no sound in space arises because most of space is made up of a vacuum that provides no path for sound waves to travel. A galaxy cluster has so much gas that we have picked up real sound.” “The NASA account tweeted.
Although the sound is real, it is outside the range of human hearing, exactly 57 octaves below middle C.

In this case, sound was captured by the NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory. The waves were extracted radially, from the center outwards. The signals were later converted to the human ear category and boosted by 57 and 58 octaves above their original pitch.
What would be that each note is heard between 144 and 288 quadrillion times more than its native frequency.
It is worth noting that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) published this audio for the first time in May of this year. But it went viral again after being shared again by the exoplanet account on August 21.
After the spread of the news, different users on social networks have left their comments on the publication.
“Well, this blew up. Stream our Soundcloud?” “That’s creepier than the previous notion. As an astronaut, I prefer not to hear anything before that sound”, are some of the messages that appear in the tweet.
