"Galactic Collision Transformed into Ethereal Music by Hubble Space Telescope"
NASA has transformed the Hubble Space Telescope's new image of the merging galaxies NGC 274 and NGC 275 into a beautiful melody using data sonification, where colors are assigned pitches. The higher tones represent the blue light from NGC 275, emitted by newly formed stars due to the galactic collision, while the lower tones represent the older stars of NGC 274. The image captures the intricate structures of the galaxies, with NGC 274 being a lenticular galaxy and NGC 275 being a barred spiral galaxy.
