For #WorldMusicDay, take a listen to R Aquarii!
Using data from Hubble and @ChandraXRay, this sonification represents information in this cosmic view as sound, giving us a new way to experience the image.

Created by aging Sun-like stars, planetary nebulas like the Retina Nebula come in all shapes and sizes. This one is actually donut-shaped, but it appears rectangular because we’re seeing it from the side. Different colors represent different gases: https://t.co/UTwprusbuN
Is @NASAWebb the "coolest" telescope in space? Technically speaking, yes! JWST's Mid-Infrared Instrument operates at a temp of -447 F.❄️
Join us for a live talk on June 22 at 7pm PT (10pm ET) to learn how this ultra-cold instrument explores our universe. https://t.co/srPRKRBST8
Listen to the galaxies of Stephan’s Quintet sing! 🎶
This image, which combines infrared data from the Webb & Spitzer telescopes with X-ray data from @chandraxray, has been "translated" to sound to provide another way of experiencing the cosmos. More: https://t.co/zzB3ZDlcbz
The stellar winds that create the bubble in this image, known as N44F, move at about 4 million miles per hour (7 million kilometers per hour), thousands of times stronger than the strongest storm recorded on Earth.

The imagery of flowers isn't rare in the sky.
Here's NGC 7023, the Iris Nebula, a stupendous and bright reflection nebula lying in Cepheus, 1,300 ly away.
The bright blue portion is 6 ly across.

It's no bed of roses in the Rosette Nebula! Extremely hot O-type stars produce intense radiation and fierce winds inside the rowdy stellar nursery at the nebula's core. Located roughly 5,000 light-years from Earth, this cosmic rose is about 100 light-years across. #RedRoseDay 🌹

Don’t you think that Arp 273 resembles a rose? @NASAHubble saw these two galaxies that were distorted by their mutual gravitational pull into a shape resembling a long-stemmed rose. #RedRoseDay
ESO #Flashback: Enjoy this pair of overlapping spiral galaxies caught in a majestic cosmic dance. They are, in fact, not interacting at all, but only appear to overlap when viewed from Earth.
