Hubble Image of Helix Nebula Converted to Sound

Hubble image of the Helix Nebula converted to sound. Colour is mapped to pitch (red=low, blue=high) and brightness controls volume. Red indicates the presence of hydrogen and nitrogen and blue indicates oxygen. Nebulae like this are formed when a low mass star sheds some of its outer material near the end of its life (red giant stage). The Helix Nebula, or Eye of Sauron, is 655 light years away and 3 light years across. It appears half the size of the full moon (huge!) and Hubble images were combined with wide field images from NOAO’s Mosaic Camera to make this image.

After watching this, it makes all the sounds of passing celestial bodies in Elite Dangerous so much more immersive. (in-lore an AI generates sound for a crew of a spaceship that corresponds to the visual events taking place around it)

"I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened."

[saltykiss]

[Jazzeres]

[arfmann]

So, i was watching the nebula through my telescope and I thought it was a good idea to ear the sound while watching.
Indeed, it wasn't a good idea.
