NASA shares the sound of a black hole, and it sounds as terrifying as you can imagine

Published on

The idea of ​​a black hole conjures up a mental image of a hellish place from which we have no escape. We envision a frightening place strong enough to “swallow” what is caught in the gravitational field. The sound of this place must be terrible too.

In space, even if you scream, no one will hear you. The scream comes from a supermassive black hole. This sound was shared by NASA.

NASA Lets Us Hear Voices From Beyond A Black Hole...

Already We hear the voice of the sunO Persistence rings true in your journey In deep space to Mars, The The sound of a black hole being swallowed A star, the sound made by the Earth's magnetic field The sound of the aurora borealis.

Now, NASA has shared what the agency has described as the sound of a black hole, which is available in audible form to human ears.

But does sound travel through space?

NASA answers this question "How does sound travel in the vacuum of space" in a very short explanation.

The misconception that there is no sound in space arises because most of space is a vacuum and sound waves have no way to travel.

A cluster of galaxies has so much gas that we already understand the real noise. Here it is amplified and mixed with other data to hear a black hole.

NASA said in a post dedicated to exoplanets tweeted.

The cluster of galaxies that propagates this sound that we can "hear" is Perseus, a cluster of galaxies. Constellation Perseus.

Given this data Da Nasa, E The recording was released in May for the US space agency's Black Hole Week.

As NASA explained at the time:

Astronomers discovered that the pressure waves emitted by the black hole caused ripples in the cluster's hot gas, which could be translated into a note - 57 octaves from middle C that humans cannot hear.

This cluster has a deceleration velocity of 5,366 km/s and a diameter of 863′. It is one of the largest objects in the known universe, with thousands of galaxies engulfed in a massive multimillion-dollar cloud of gas.
