Stephan's Quintet Sonification from Chandra X-Ray Observatory, NASA Telescopes - posted by NASA Marshall Space Flight Center

Stephan's Quintet is a cluster of four galaxies that move around each other,held together by gravity,plus a fifth galaxy at a very different distance from Earth.This image contains infrared light from the James Webb Space Telescope,with additional data from the Spitzer Space Telescope and X-ray light from the Chandra X-ray Observatory.The sonification is created by highly sophisticated sound engineering.For example,the pitch may be linked to brightness in different ways,or X-rays may be linked to a synthetic string sound.
