The supernova remnant Cassiopeia A comes to musical life in this new sonification featuring data from Hubble, Chandra X-ray Observatory, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, and the retired Spitzer Space Telescope. Now this image can be experienced in a different way: Chandra's X-ray data is mapped to modified piano sounds, while infrared data from Webb and Spitzer have been assigned to various string and brass instruments. Stars that Hubble detected are played with small cymbals. Scientists mappe
