Donât listen to this if you get freaked out easily.
This ghostly howl is what it sounds like when x-ray light bounces around inside a black hole.
Despite the name, black holes actually emit some light, and itâs all thanks to their diet.
They gobble up matter around them, usually gas and dust from orbiting stars, and a bit like a sparkly fart, they emit x-ray light that makes a sound.
Yeah- you know that thing about space being silent? Thatâs a myth! Just because space is a vacuum, it doesnât mean thereâs no sound.
Actually, galaxy clusters are full of gas that provides a medium for sound waves to travel along.
These recent sound waves were picked up by NASAâs Chandra X-Ray in the Perseus black hole. Scientists from MIT ran the data through a tool called the Reverberation Machine- which is also a great name for a psychedelic rock band!
The machine spat out this creepy tune, which the scientists resynthesized to make it audible for the human ear. We canât wait to see what other remixes they release!
Keen to learn more about black holes? Sign up to our Cosmology course with Professor Alan Duffy at the link in our bio!
