Sonification is the conversion of any non-auditory data into sound, and is analogous to data visualization.Space is full of radio waves, plasma waves, magnetic waves, gravitational waves and shock waves, all of which can travel in space without a medium. These waves are recorded by instruments that can sense these waves, and the data is transferred to earth-based stations, where the waves are sound coded. Any audible sound has variables like frequency, amplitude and rhythm. Different space waves are matched with different properties of the sound (frequency, amplitude, etc.) in different proportions to get a sound.
Nope, I was there and doesn't sound like this...
