After TRAPPIST-1, our very own Saturn and its moons get to make music! Since it’s the area with the most resonances in our solar system, thanks to its rings and moons, there is much to “extract” music and sounds from: 

“In part 1 we use a numerical simulation of the moon system to play a note for each orbit and assign pitches by increasing their actual orbital frequencies by 27 octaves so that they can be heard by human ears. We apply the same pitch scaling to the entire ring system and modulate the volume of the resulting tone using the observed brightness of the rings. The final sound was created by combining the oscillation frequencies of Saturn itself.” 

The team behind the project is the same that “auditified” TRAPPIST-1: Andrew Santaguida, Matt Russo and Dan Tamayo.
