NASA Goddard teamed up with the National Philharomic to bring you ‘Cosmic Cycles’, a live symphonic experience that combined space imagery with music. Its seven movements focus on a different aspect of space by using sequences from Goddard’s Scientific Visualization Studio and other NASA groups.
The suite’s final movement, titled “Echoes of the Big Bang,” features imagery from the James Webb Space Telescope and computer models of black holes as well as colliding stars. A synthesizer was added to NASA data of a black hole that was then converted into sound. Put simply, this combination is one of the most spectacularly eerie sounds you will ever experience.

At NASA, part of our charter is to share the results of our missions with the public. By collaborating with composers and musicians, we create a vital bridge between the realms of science and imagination. This fusion of space exploration and musical creativity allows us to bring the beauty and mysteries of our universe to life in a way that transcends the boundaries of traditional scientific communication,” said Wade Sisler, executive producer in Goddard’s Office of Communications.
