1 Billion Years of Moon Impacts Converted Into Music

Scientists have recently been able to determine the age of 111 of the Moon’s larger impact craters that are younger than about 1 billion years old. Here you can listen to these impacts occur within 1 minute with larger craters producing louder and deeper notes. The sustained cello-like drone in the background is created by converting the elevation of the Moon’s entire surface directly into a sound wave (). The craters were dated by studying how fast the ejected material cools d
