Saturn

Rings, in pitch

The ringed planet, sonified from Chandra X-rays plus optical views. The rings are not just pretty — they have their own musical gesture.

What you’re hearing

The oval of the rings is a sliding cello-like note. Separate tracks for the planet, the rings, X-rays, and visible light.
