“NASA HARP Project: Explore the Sounds of Space and Participate in Heliophysical Research using Music and Art”

2023-05-31 10:14:21

The NASA HARP project is a participatory research project, aimed at involving the public in heliophysical research. This branch of physics studies the behavior of the Sun, interplanetary space, and Earth’s space environment. The HARP Project uses music and sound art to make science more accessible and to engage the public in scientific research.

The HARP project consists of a series of laboratory experiments and space missions. The goal of this project is to better understand the electromagnetic waves that propagate in space. And to study the interactions between these waves and the charged particles that make up the space environment. The results of these studies could help predict disruptions in space communications. And, perhaps, to better understand the impact of solar flares on the Earth’s environment. The public is invited to participate in this project by listening to and describing the sound waves collected by NASA space missions. The sound is to be listened to ici.

The HARP Project is an opportunity for the public to participate in scientific research using art and music to explore complex topics in heliophysics. It also provides an opportunity for schools and communities to engage in exciting and educational science projects.

The HARP project uses a technique called audification to turn scientific data into musical sound. Audification is the process of taking scientific data and converting it into audible sound. This technique has been used to transform NASA data into music that can be listened to by the public.

If you are interested in participating, go to the NASA website, listen to these sounds. And you may be able to help researchers spot interesting features contained in these waves. And why not even detect new sounds that no one could have heard.

Here are some explanations with the space news specialist at the Cité de l’espace, Olivier Sanguy.
