Sonification Examples

Our current collection of sonified astronomy data. The folder also contains written and narrated explanations of the science behind each sonification.

Feel free to use these recordings, especially for educational purposes!

Out of the Blocks podcast!

We are so excited to be featured on this WYPR podcast. Listening to this episode is a great way to learn more about Astronify and sonification.

Games

Test your ears! Listen to real sonified data and answer questions about what you heard. Playing these games will help us learn how to improve our sonifications.

Level 1 - Flares & Transits

Put on your astronomer hat and see if you can learn information about the universe... using your ears!

Level 2 - Exoplanets!

This more advanced game focuses on different ways of analyzing exoplanet data.
