The sounds of a Martian sunrise inspire short musical composition
NASA SC18 Opportunity Mars Sunrise
"To create their composition, Vicinanza and Williams scanned the image pixel by pixel, from left to right. Then they assigned specific pitches and melodies to such characteristics in the data as brightness, color, and the elevation of the terrain. You can listen to the resulting Martian "soundtrack" in the video below. Those lucky enough to be at the conference will also be able to experience it via vibrational transducers, feeling the vibrations with their hands as well as listening to the sounds."
