#JWST reveals earliest known #blackhole inside galaxy #GNz1. Researchers speculated that the bright ultraviolet glow emanating from the distant galaxy was probably coming from huge amounts of gas swirling around and pouring into a black hole. The friction of all that gas being pulled inwards would have heated and lit it up, likely explaining why the galaxy is so luminous.

For millennia, musicians have looked to the #heavens for #inspiration. #Now a new collaboration is enabling actual data from NASA telescopes to be used as the basis for #original #music that can be played by humans.

Since 2020, the "sonification" project at NASA's Chandra X-ray Center has translated the digital data taken by telescopes into notes and sounds. This process allows the listener to experience the data through the sense of hearing instead of seeing it as images, a more common way to present astronomical data.

A new phase of the sonification project takes the data into different territory. Working with composer Sophie Kastner, the team has developed versions of the data that can be played by musicians.

"It's like a writing a fictional story that is largely based on real facts," said Kastner. "We are taking the data from space that has been translated into sound and putting a new and human twist on it."

This pilot program focuses on data from a small region at the center of our Milky Way galaxy where a supermassive black hole resides. NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, Hubble Space Telescope, and retired Spitzer Space Telescope have all studied this area, which spans about 400 light-years across.

NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center manages the Chandra program. The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory's Chandra X-ray Center controls science operations from Cambridge, Massachusetts, and flight operations from Burlington, Massachusetts.

"Where Parallel Lines Converge" is a #sonic rendering of a composite image of the #GalacticCenter, or the center of our #MilkyWay #galaxy, with data from NASA’s #Chandra, #Hubble and #Spitzer #space #telescopes. The song is a tryptic, highlighting three astronomical objects or moments in the image: the X-ray binary, the arched filaments, and the #supermassive #blackhole, #SagittariusA*.

The piece was conceived using the same principles as the original NASA Chandra data sonifications, converting data to sound by matching different parameters of the image with musical parameters. Composed by Sophie Kastner, this was recorded by #Montreal based #Ensemble Eclat conducted by Charles-Eric LaFontaine on July 19, 2023 at McGill University.

Are we living in a baby #universe that looks like a #blackHole to outsiders?

When a black hole forms, the mass and #energy collapses down to a #singularity. Similarly, continuing to extrapolate the expanding Universe backwards in time leads to a singularity when temperatures, densities and energies are high enough. Could these two phenomena be connected?

This is the First Ever Image of a Black Hole!

This dark portrait of the event horizon was obtained of the supermassive black hole in the center of the galaxy Messier 87 (M87 for short) by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), an international collaboration whose support includes the National Science Foundation.

I'm thinking of going with my own mail server like the old days. Google is now worthless for spam. Might even be an inside job LOL. I get this one every few hours. I don't use Windows, but a very stripped down embedded Linux for my desktops with lots of I/O auditing that doesn't have likely exploits or virus vectors. One of my big New Year's projects. And a new 3D printer arrived today, so I have my hands full.
