This track is a mix of a piece that was generated by the night sky itself. The music is created by converting the color and brightness of the stars into music through a process called sonification. This is done by using the stars and constellations that are visible at each moment and using an algorithm to communicate the color and brightness of the stars through sound. The pitch of the notes is determined by the color and temperature of the stars. Redder stars, which are cooler, produce lower notes while bluer stars, which are hotter, produce higher notes. Brighter stars produce louder notes. Sonification such as this helps people who are blind or visually impaired experience the night sky.
