Sonification of Solar System Orbits (Audio Universe: Tour of the Solar System)

<p dir="ltr">This is an audio representation of the orbits of the eight major planets of the Solar System. Each planet is represented by a unique musical instrument and pitch. The sounds appear to perform "orbits" by moving the sounds in stereo panning and with a volume envelope. The orbital speeds are correct with the real data, relative to each.</p><p dir="ltr">The sonification was produced using the code 'STRAUSS' (Trayford & Harrison, 28th Proceedings of the International Community of Auditory Displays (ICAD2023), p249-256, <i>2023</i>), which is available on github: <a href="https://github.com/james-trayford/strauss" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/james-trayford/strauss</a></p><p dir="ltr">It was produced for the show Audio Universe: Tour of the Solar System (<a href="https://www.audiouniverse.org/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.audiouniverse.org/</a>), with a description of how it was constructed in Harrison et al. 2022, Astronomy & Geophysics,<i> </i><i>Volume 63, Issue 2, Pages 2.38-2.40.</i><br><br>Credit: C.
