What does space sound like? Neil deGrasse Tyson and Matt Kirshen explore space sonification projects with astronomy visualization expert, Kimberly Arcand.
NASA released an audio clip from a black hole. The sound is something humans can't hear, so NASA shifted the note by amplifying it and mixing it with other data they have about black holes.
NASA wants you to know that black holes have sounds, but it might be creepy for some. There is a misconception that black holes are soundless and lifeless voids, and while one of them is a fact, the other being soundless is not entirely accurate.
NASA began "sonifying" its famous photos of outer space to help people who are visually impaired enjoy the images. Recently, it recreated the sound of a black hole 240 million light-years away.
