In a post it made today, NASA said that it managed to record the sound of the black hole in the Perseus Galaxy, which is approximately 235 million light-years away. So, how and with what instruments was the sound of a black hole recorded in outer space?
Black hole sound recorded by Chandra X-ray Observatory!
The Chandra X-ray Observatory was launched into space in 1999 along with NASA’s STS-93 mission. After 23 years, he made a discovery that went down in history today. The sound of the black hole recorded by the Observatory was transformed by scientists into a form that our ears can hear from astronomical data.
After this sharing, many people made many criticisms about the reality of the sound recorded in space. But it is actually quite possible to do this. Because although most of space is made up of empty space, there are large masses of gas surrounding all matter, planets and galaxies.
NASA says that mostly these massive gas clouds in space are enough for sound waves to travel. He also believes that the common misconception that there is no sound in space will end with this post.
In addition, it should be noted that these sound waves captured by the Chandra X-ray Observatory cannot be perceived by the human ear under normal conditions. It is stated that the sound has been raised about 58 octaves in order to bring it to a level that can be heard by our human ear. In addition, it is underlined that no intervention has been made to make the sound in the shared file sound pleasant.
