The sound of a “black hole” 200 million years away from Earth has been detected

by time news

NASA scientists have detected the sound of a black hole in the center of the Perseus galaxy group, more than 200 million light-years from Earth, recorded by the Chandra X-ray Observatory.
The sound waves were recorded in a NASA space telescope, in the form of astronomical data, and then translated into sound that humans can hear, and despite a “common misconception” that “there is no sound in space”, because there is no way for sound waves to travel, the sound The newly released version is very similar to the voice of author Hans Zimmer, according to what Russia Today reported.
And astronomers at the Space Agency realized that the hot gas that covers Perseus, a bundle of galaxies 11 million light-years wide, can be translated into sound, and this gas that surrounds hundreds and even thousands of galaxies provides a medium through which sound waves travel.
Sonication was created by recombining the sound waves of the human hearing range, by raising the volume “57 or 58 octavas” above the true pitch.
