The #Center #of the #Galaxy and the #Yugas -
5 days ago ... The Center of the Galaxy and the Yugas. #REALITY_CHECK ... #KaliYuga Explained - Fourth & Final #Yuga.
Have you ever seen the #Andromeda #galaxy? Chances are you probably have, even if you don't know it. Although M31 appears as a faint and fuzzy blob to the unaided eye, the light you see will be over two million years old, making it likely the oldest light one can ever see directly. The featured image captured Andromeda with long duration camera exposures just before it set behind the #Swiss #Alps.
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.
The small glowing blob is protostar L1527 (460 light years away)! Caught in the glow of its sunrise-like creation the baby is only 100,00 years old! It can take up to 50 million years for a star to reach the size of our sun. This infant has a long time to go.
Astronomers have created a detailed atlas of almost 400000 #galaxies in our cosmic neighborhood.
The Siena Galaxy Atlas is a treasure trove of information for researchers investigating everything from #galaxy formation and evolution to dark matter and gravitational waves.
It’s also freely available online for the public to explore.
I'm sure this has been posted and reposted a few times already today, but since I haven't began to read my stream, I haven't seen it yet.
Anyway, interesting stuff!
