NASA releases audio recording of a black hole - and it sounds like a Hans Zimmer score

[saac]

So when do we get an Audio stretch algorithm in PixInsight ?     Nature imitating art; don't know what others may feel but I think that sound is as ominous as one would expect a black hole to be. Quite eerie really. 

NASA releases sound of black hole!

Wow - It sounds exactly like I would expect one to sound.

It really is saying "keep your distance, I will do you harm " !!

No s**t. Is that really the sound of matter being torn to pieces? I rather expected a belch - black holes are such messy eaters.

It seems to be impossible to publish a scientific discovery these days unless you also turn it into audio

[saac]

To be honest it creeps me out !  Maybe we have been conditioned by various sci fi movies to expect that sound .  Remember the movie Event Horizon, it reminds me of the gravity drive of the Event Horizon. !!!!

But if you published it as a graph, or in a spreadsheet or something, most people would just go ugh?!? and never think about it again.

A bid to make the work more accessible and catch some publicity perhaps?

Towards the bottom, after you click the show more button there is a picture with a play icon arrowhead ">" in it, press that icon.

That was amazing, I was half expecting to hear, "prepare to be assimilated, resistance is futile".

Stuff like this is good for astronomy,  gives interest to the greater masses.

Thank you, didn't see that.

 

Reminds me of the film score for "Forbidden Planet" at higher speed.
