You’ve heard starburst galaxy NGC 1569, now listen to the sonification of star cluster Pismis 24 that was created using Hubble image data. It’s located roughly 8,000 light-years from Earth within the nebula NGC 6357.
The sounds you’re hearing were created assigning musical elements to different aspects of the Hubble data. For example, the image’s brightness is mapped to volume and pitch, which means the brighter areas are not only louder, but also higher pitched.

This star was thought to have an incredibly large mass of 200 to 300 solar masses. Hubble Space Telescope measurements of the star, however, resolved Pismis 24-1 into two separate stars, and, in doing so, “halved” its mass to around 100-150 solar masses,” said the NASA Hubble Mission Team.
