Scientists have taken this fabulous image and transformed it into sounds, something that offers us the opportunity to "hear" the spectacular astronomical photography.
Transforming data into sounds
Sonification offers researchers a new way to analyze their digital data. In this case, the nebula NGC 2392, located about 5,000 light years away from Earth , is a nebula formed after the massive explosion and death of a star similar to the Sun.
It has a fuzzy golden outer ring, which is actually a group of comet-shaped objects with their tails moving away from the central star. As the star exploded in all directions, it created an explosion of a relatively circular shape.
What appear to be white and yellow-orange bubbles in the central zone is actually matter blown away by the star's stellar winds, as well as gas.
It is one of the most fascinating and best-defined images of a dying star .
