Despite the fact that infinite silence reigns in space, the stars form a cosmic orchestra, thanks to the infrasound acoustic waves they produce ; They are of very low frequency for the human ear to hear them, but they can be captured with telescopes. And, in essence, sound is just a vibration that passes through matter.
As the stars vibrate, something that dims and brightens their brightness, we are able to detect it and reconstruct the sound produced by these vibrations.
How do the stars sound?
The larger stars would be like the bass or oboe of an orchestra, producing the lowest or lowest sounds.
The smallest stars would be like the flute or violin of the orchestra, producing the highest or highest sounds.
The infrasound acoustic waves have been calculated by the astrophysicist Garik Israelian and arranged and reproduced by the famous English composer and producer Brian Eno , and now we can hear them thanks to the “Starsounds” project created for this year’s Starmus Festival.
The Starmus Festival, organized by the Israelian and Queen’s legendary astrophysicist and guitarist Brian May , is an annual celebration of stellar science and space exploration, music and art, with such well-known sponsors as the late physicist Stephen Hawking.
It goes without saying that listening to the “music” of the stars can also be used to obtain data on their size, age and internal structures, much like how geologists measure the interior of the Earth from seismic waves and earthquakes.
