Listening to a few second sample of something as is often the case with sonification you will miss things you might pick up if you have it just running in the background.
The Rubin Observatory put out a sonification map which is fun to explore.

So, after several months of my mind occupied by family medical "stuff," I may be back on track with a couple of new tunes.
Purely for fun, here's a #chillout #synthwave cover of the Law & Order theme ...

The skyveiwer gives me good vibes. It’s like if that old chain reaction game and bounce symphony had a very expensive and super cool elite awesome friend that will text you back.

With SkySynth, the #RubinFirstLook images are ear-resistable 👂✨
SkySynth transforms the Virgo Cluster into a sparkling symphony of science! 🔭 🧪 Instead of conveying data visually, a sonification like SkySynth translates data into sound.

Absolutely loving the Vera C Rubin Observatory Skyviewer so far, but man, its SkySynth feature is sublime - basically Brian Eno's Bloom app in space.
Wonder if there's a SkySynth API; would love to see @bennjordan.bsky.social composing sky symphonies out of it.

The Skysynth feature of from the Vera Rubin Observatory (@vrubinobs.bsky.social) is absolutely magical. Explore cosmic sounds. To get an idea, turn on your speakers for the movie below -- it's amazing!

Experience NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory’s Cosmic Treasure Chest with sound!🎶
Just as an image conveys data visually, sonification conveys data with sound. No two people will explore Rubin’s images the same, & no two listening experiences will be the same. 🔭🧪

The web app is magnificent. The tour nominally is 10 minutes, but if you're a space nerd like me it will take...longer. 🌌Visuals aside, "playing" the SkySynth sounds is enchanting and soothing.
Congratulations, Adam, on being part of this scientific work.

They have also created a companion site that mapped the data into sounds. When you click on this, the map will drift and play musical notes that correspond w/ the data. When you zoom out, it plays shorter, more frequent notes, when you zoom out, it plays longer ambient notes. skyviewer.app/skysynth

Seems like every galaxy/star is getting a note and you can drag around to listen to the image (or let it animate and scan through it). Very neat!
