Black Holes
Listen to the Unsettling Sounds Generated By a Black Hole, Captured By NASA
Despite appearances, there’s seemingly more to an intergalactic black hole than meets the eye. In fact, while most space objects and travelers are seen but never heard, black holes are proving to be an anomaly. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the sound a black hole produces is unsettling to say the least. NASA took to Twitter to share that there’s some common misconceptions around the idea of sound’s lack of existence in space. The agency noted that generally speaking, there’s no means by which sound waves can travel as most of space exists as a vacuum. However, despite looking like an empty void, black holes are actually quite the opposite. In actuality, a black hole is composed of densely compacted space matter, so much so that there’s enough gas present for t...

Mathematician Creates Music Synthesized From Black Holes 14 Billion Miles Away: Listen
Electronic music artists and enthusiasts tend to have a fascination with showcasing the darkest elements in the universe. We’ve seen everything from Vantablack-covered stage setups to beats made from NASA X-rays to… music generated from a black hole? You may be thinking to yourself, “How does one create music from space where there is no sound?” Well, that little limitation wasn’t going to stop Belgian mathematician Valery Vermeulen, who thought outside the box to create a three-track project called Mikromedas SrgA+. Vermeulen leveraged data gathered by Voyager Satellite, a space probe located over 14 billion miles away, to synthesize electromagnetic radiation waves being emitted from black holes and turn them into musical composition...
