in Chile, NASA scientists have created a radar-style map that plays the sound of M87 — specifically, of the massive jet of material that the black hole at its heart shoots across the galaxy.electromagnetic radiation
As the sound progresses, it creates an audio representation of the"loudest" parts of the black hole. For example, the brightest and loudest part of the map, where the majority of radiation is emitted, is near the beginning of the sonification and represents the black hole itself. The brightness and volume of the song fluctuate with the jets of radiation emitted by the black hole.
