Nasa’s sonification posts often leave space enthusiasts amazed and in yet another attempt by the space agency, the ‘light echoes’ from the black hole were converted into sound on Friday. A video was shared by Nasa in which they employed a sonification technique that converted the light echoes around the black hole into sound waves. The black hole in the video V404 Cygni is 7,800 light years away from Earth, the agency said.Describing about the location of the black hole depicted in the video, Nasa explained, “A new sonification turns these ‘light echoes’ from the black hole called V404 Cygni into sound. Located about 7,800 light-years from Earth, V404 Cygni is a system that contains a black hole, with a mass between five and 10 times the Sun’s, that is pulling material from a companion star in orbit around it. The material is funneled into a disk that encircles the stellar-mass black hole.”
Taking to its official Instagram handle, Nasa wrote, “Black holes are notorious for not letting light (such as radio, visible and X-rays) escape from them. However, surrounding material can produce intense bursts of electromagnetic radiation. As they travel outward, these busts of light can bounce off clouds of gas and dust in space, like how light beams from car’s headlight will scatter off of fog.”
