The music of the stars is similar to Aphex Twin
With the help of the French telescope COROT , a group of French astroseismologists recorded the oscillations of several stars and applied the “voice acting” method to them.
It turned out that if you combine the oscillations of neighboring stars from a cluster into a common "orchestra", then by ear they are very euphonic and even beautiful - they look like real music. According to the listeners, the cluster record resembles some Aphex Twin compositions (in particular, from the minimalist album of the 90s Selected Ambient Works, Vol. 2). Listen to the recordings here (the penultimate recording is especially impressive).
Scientists are not just having fun, but trying to interpret the data in various ways in order to find new patterns. Sometimes it is easier to identify certain artifacts by hearing than by analyzing arrays of numbers or graphic images. If you listen to individual stars, you can hear repeating patterns - this is the pulsation of a star that rotates around its axis. The sound of different stars is very different, depending on age, size and chemical composition. Scientists agree that the new sounding technology has real scientific value. For example, to illustrate the very idea of loading visual images from space into the brain in the form of sound, Dr. Tim O'Brien of the University of Manchester collects a collection of his favorite cosmic “sounds” and publishes Jodcast ’s astronomical podcast monthly .
