Great job with the sonification explanations. For some additional accessible video content explaining some of the concepts discussed check out: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCPZgcYzVpj9dARO11HCUD_YxXw4fr_ef

Hi All!

At the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, our team has developed a new platform calledSensing the Dynamic Universe (SDU).  This open, free initiative allows anyone to experience the majestic "menagerie" of the cosmos—from variable stars and pulsars to black holes, via webpages and sonified video plots designed for everyone, especially people who are blind or low vision. 

• How it works: We directly translate brightness to pitch to sonify lightcurves and spectra.

• What you’ll hear: Engaging videos and explanations exploring binary stars, supernovae, quasars, gamma-ray bursts, and more.

• The Experience: You can check out a briefintroductory video which describes the SDU project in detail, or explore it directly yourself atcfa.harvard.edu/sdu

  Please be in touch!

  All the Best,
