Explanation:
Yes, but have you ever experienced the Eagle Nebula with your ears ?
The famous nebula,
M16,
is best known for the feast it gives your eyes,
highlighting bright young stars forming deep inside
dark towering structures.
These light-years long columns of cold gas and
dust are some
6,500 light-years distant
toward
the constellation of the Serpent
(Serpens).
Sculpted and eroded by the energetic
ultraviolet light
and powerful winds from
M16's cluster of massive stars,
the cosmic pillars themselves are destined for destruction.
But the turbulent environment of star formation
within M16, whose spectacular details are captured in
this combined
Hubble
(visible) and
Chandra
(X-ray) image,
is likely similar to the environment that formed our own
Sun.
In the featured video,
listen for stars and dust sounding off as the line of
sonification
moves left to right, with vertical position determining
pitch.
