Evidence (2022-07-15): They discovered a nesting duck who had flown into the hospital’s courtyard and was forced to protect her eggs in the center of a bustling hospital. Not wanting to disturb the soon-to-be-mother and her hatchlings, Travis Ihle, EVS Director, and his team reached out to the Pocono Wildlife Rehab to see how best to handle the situation. With their trusted consultants, the team blocked a section of the courtyard so their fine-feathered friend could nest in peace. Soon the new ducklings arrived, and it was time to head towards home. The team was ready and had constructed a pathway from the courtyard through the hospital lobby using saved supply boxes. The new family was smoothly escorted out of the facility and into carriers. Once secured, they were transported to the nearest creek and set loose.

Evidence (2016-08-25): My dearest Lou, (a.k.a. "My Fine Feathered Friend"), it was like yesterday you would come and hide from your dad in Gondola Bakery next door to your parents hardware store back on 20th Avenue in Brooklyn, NY. I was about 12 yrs old and you were about 18 (although you acted more like my age), peering into the front window to see if I was there. Then making your way in strutting your stuff like a young John Travolta wearing your Members Only leather jacket but citing Clint Eastwoods quote, "Make my day", or acting out James Bond 007 while Carly's Nobody Does It Better song played over the radio. There were days you would come in wearing gardening gloves covered in tree sap proving to your dad you were working. Funny how you could never hide from your mother though. Tina knew where you were, stuffing your face with Boston Cream doughnuts or messing around with me or my sister, Lucia, lifting me up and having metal bread baskets fall on us. I swear I sustained many injuries being with you.

Evidence (2023-08-31): When a brown dog named Maurice plays his accordion on the streets of Paris to a canine crowd, he shares a piece of his heart. After a long day’s work, he continues to spread happiness with his smile and words as well as food for his beloved bird friends who join him in song in his apartment. But one day, no audience gathers and as a result, his tip jar is empty. Without money, he has no choice but to let the birds go. Without the birds, Maurice loses his inspiration for music, smiles and compliments. When spring arrives again, the sight of three birds in the park prompt Maurice to play and when he does, both his feathered friends and the public return to fill not only his tip cup but also his heart.
Claim: Sounds Coming From The Universe, Captured by NASA!! (Social Media Users, 2023-08-09)
Evidence (2023-08-09): In summary, the audio in the video attributed to the "Pillars of Creation" Nebula is not the actual sound of the universe but rather a product of data sonification that translates electromagnetic signals into sound waves. NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and other space-based telescopes employ this technique to provide an alternative means of understanding and appreciating the cosmos. While the audio is not natural in the traditional sense, it offers a unique perspective on the wonders of our universe.

Evidence (2023-06-27): Listen to the eerie sounds of distant galaxies in breathtaking NASA video [...] The new video is still except for a white horizontal line that combs through the galaxy group and reveals where the sounds are coming from. Each of the five galaxies lets out a big whoosh while the foreground stars hum in warm and mellowed tones of a xylophone-like instrument called a glass marimba. The musical piece is also sprinkled with higher pitches of a string instrument, which represents spikes around a star in telescope images that are formed when starlight bends around the hexagonal mirrors of NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). [...] At two o'clock and eight o'clock positions, you can hear a strong wind, which reflects a jet of ionized matter blasting out of the white dwarf and slamming into surrounding stellar material. Hubble's data, which are visualized as "ribbon-like arcs" in the image, can be heard as soothing sounds like those that resonate from Tibetan singing bowls while Chandra's data are represented as a "windy purr," NASA representatives wrote in an image description published Tuesday (June 20).

Evidence (2024-09-05): The new sonified images convert visual data captured by Chandra over the last quarter century into sound, enhancing our understanding and analysis of complex X-ray data, in addition to making them more accessible to a wider range of people, in order to provide a complementary perspective to visual methods. [...] Compact X-ray sources from distant galaxies chirp like cosmic birds in this sonification. In the Hubble data, the core of NGC 6872 resonates with a deep, dark drone, while its blue spiral arms, bursting with new stars, sing in bright, high-pitched tones. Background galaxies produce gentle plucking sounds, and the dazzling foreground star makes a dramatic entrance with a cymbal crash. [...] Transforming these cosmic images into sound is like giving the universe a new voice. It reveals hidden symphonies within the stars and galaxies, turning complex data into an immersive, auditory experience that deepens our connection with the cosmos.

Evidence (2022-09-10): NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft captured these sounds of interstellar space. Voyager 1’s plasma wave instrument detected the vibrations of dense interstellar plasma, or ionized gas, from October to November 2012 and April to May 2013. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech [...] These crashing waves reveal clues about the density of the interstellar medium – a value that affects our understanding of the shape of our heliosphere, how stars form, and even our own location in the galaxy. As these waves reverberate through space, they vibrate the electrons around them, which ring out at characteristic frequencies depending on how crammed together they are. The higher the pitch of that ringing, the higher the electron density. Voyager 1’s Plasma Wave Subsystem – which includes two "bunny ear" antennas sticking out 30 feet (10 meters) behind the spacecraft – was designed to hear that ringing. In November 2012, three months after exiting the heliosphere, Voyager 1 heard interstellar sounds for the first time (see video above). Six months later, another "whistle" appeared – this time louder and even higher pitched. The interstellar medium appeared to be getting thicker, and quickly.

Evidence (2022-09-06): A new project known as "Data Sonification" is being led by the Chandra X-ray Center (CXC) as part of NASA’s Universe of Learning (UoL). This involves a team of experts working to "sonify," or turn into sound, data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Hubble Telescope. The data captured by telescopes come in binary code, ones and zeroes. These are usually translated into visual representations of objects which would otherwise be invisible to the naked eye. In the case of data sonification, the same digital data that gets translated into images is transformed into sound. [...] Credits: NASA, ESA, the Hubble Heritage Team (STScI/AURA), and A.

Evidence (2022-05-20): Earlier this month, NASA released the first recordings, or sonifications, of what two black holes sound like—and it’s just the kind of noise astronomers and science fiction buffs were expecting: eerie, ethereal, and aurally extraordinary. The universe is rife with the hum of celestial melodies—but it’s only relatively recently that humans have developed the technology to be able to hear them. A team of scientists at NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory were able to extract and make audible previously identified sound waves from a nearly 20-year-old image of the Perseus galaxy cluster—a collection so full of galaxies, it’s assumed to be one of the most massive objects in the universe. It’s one of the closest clusters to Earth, around 240 light-years away. [...] After scientists discovered that the star Trappist-1 was the most musical solar system in 2017, Russo went on to co-found SYSTEM Sounds, an outreach project that translates the rhythm of the universe into beautiful, unearthly tones that expresses both sonic data and artistic pieces. The project has since produced regular sonifications in collaboration with NASA, and Russo himself has helped create many of the pieces featured in an entire album that utilized Chandra’s observations, called A Universe of Sound.
