Hear the sounds of starquakes across the Milky Way from Gaia

Europe’s galaxy-mapping Gaia mission recorded the sound of starquakes that ripple through stellar surfaces like tsunamis and change stars’ shape in a way that can be detected from space around Earth. 

The recording — which is featured in a new video from the Gaia mission team — is not the exact sound emitted by the stars, however. It’s what scientists call a sonification, a translation of data into sounds, and the team behind the project had to do quite a lot of processing to make the experience available to humans.
