Sonification of The Mice Galaxies: NGC 4676 | NASA Goddard
The Mice Galaxies are a colliding pair of galaxies, that will eventually merge into a single galaxy. They are located about 300 million light-years away in the constellation Coma Berenices.
In this data sonification, scientists represented brightness with volume and pitch—brighter light is louder and lower pitched. The vertical position of objects in the image is used to control the pitch of sustained musical strings, and cymbals swell following the brightness of the galaxy cores. Listen for a cymbal crash played for the foreground star with diffraction spikes, too!
