NASA Releases Audio of What a Black Hole Sounds Like...It’s pretty spooky.

With the recent release of fascinating images coming out of the James Webb Telescope, there’s been a renewed public interest in deep space. In a new post, NASA Exoplanet, the branch responsible for searching for potential life-bearing worlds beyond our solar system, released the “actual sound” of a black hole.

“The misconception that there is no sound in space originates because most space is a vacuum, providing no way for sound waves to travel,” NASA Exoplanets writes in the tweet. “A galaxy cluster has so much gas that we’ve picked up actual sound. Here it’s amplified, and mixed with other data, to hear a black hole!”

Since 2003, astronomers have associated sounds with the center of the Perseus galaxy cluster, realizing that pressure waves sent by black holes could be translated into audible notes by pitching up the signals by 57 octaves above their true pitch. The data was gathered by NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and are extracted in radial directions from the center.

Take a listen to the audio below and find more information on the NASA website.

Sound is air vibrating. Between Earth and the black hole there are a few thousand molecules of Hydrogen. Not enough to carry the “sound” all the way to us.

The idea that there is no sound in space is not a misconception. It is what SCIENTISTS have been teaching us for years.

Since the article doesn’t explain how the “sound” was picked up over that distance, the article is worth nothing.

Linda Moulton Howe has made an interesting claim—that the real purpose of the new telescope is to “find” evidence of ET life “out there”—as part of a gradual disclosure that they are really “here”.

Her discussion is in a long podcast here—about the one hour thirty minute mark—scroll down to find her interview:

It’s just more NASA propaganda. Keep funding us and we’ll keep finding cool stuff to amaze you.

20 years and $10bln instead of just faking it for a few million $? She’s a nut. Wonder if Von Daniken banged her. She was alright in the 60s.
