A Universe of Sound (REALLY COOL!!!!)

 I found this site over at NASA and just thought it was really cool to share. It is called The Universe of Sound.

From the website it states the following:

Much of our Universe is too distant for anyone to visit in person, but we can still explore it. Telescopes give us a chance to understand what objects in our Universe are like in different types of light. By translating the inherently digital data (in the form of ones and zeroes) captured by telescopes in space into images, astronomers can create visual representations of what would otherwise be invisible to us.

But what about experiencing these data with other senses, like hearing? Sonification is the process that translates data into sound. Our new project brings parts of our Milky Way galaxy, and of the greater Universe beyond it, to listeners for the first time.

To get the links for the NASA sonifications of some more popular objects shown above and/or to get the link to learn how to do sonification with your own images head over to Eadsy Astronomy at this LINK. 

Here is Supernova 1987A: 

Stellar Hit-and-Run: How One Tiny Star Survived a Supernova Explosion

 Astronomers have long used Type Ia supernovae as "standard candles" to measure the universe, but the exact identity of the "companion star" that triggers these explosions is still a major mystery. This research investigates whether a low-mass M-dwarf (a cool, red star) could survive being hit by a supernova and what it would look like thousands of years later.

As always, the full article and LINK to the research paper are over at this LINK at Eadsy Astronomy.
