Hubble’s *new* image of the Cosmic Reef converted to sound! Colour is mapped to pitch (red=low, blue=high) and brightness controls volume. The red nebula (hydrogen & nitrogen) is a stellar nursery while the blue one (oxygen) is created by material ejected from an extremely bright, massive star. 30 years of Hubble bringing the mysteries of the universe into focus.
