I became fascinated with data sonification after hearing NASA’s sonification of 5000 exoplanets (link) back in 2022. Nearly 4 years later, here is my first attempt at sonification of Rosette Nebula (link), a nebula that we had caught on camera earlier in January.

What this took is Claude Code and two images of Rosette nebula, the starless one and the one with stars. I am no musician unless playing tanpura or singing bowl counts. It has been a while since I coded. To counterbalance my two handicaps, I threw in my passion for experimentation in good measure. In this image, we scan left to right and the RGB of the image is mapped to C Dorian scale.

Details coming soon.
