The Universe “speaks” through light. Humans have built incredible machines and launched them into space where they capture this light, most of which is invisible to our eyes. The telescopes capture light as digital codes and are often turned into images. But scientists have also learned how to translate the images of deep space into sound, using a different sense to experience the cosmos.  Listen to the debris from an exploded star or sound waves from a black hole, and hear the majestic messages the Universe is sending us. Cosmic notes from telescopes like NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, James Webb Space Telescope and Hubble Telescope to delight us and help us learn about our Universe.
