…who seem not only painfully unfamiliar with the legal system (where divorce is, I assure you, absolutely an option), but also blissfully unaware that sometimes, people leave their spouses, and those left behind get no say in the matter, and it would be lovely if society would stop traumatizing them even further by judging the everloving shit out of them.

Video reblogged from It's Okay To Be Smart
Kepler-11, a Sonata
Kepler-11 is a six planet system orbiting a distant star, recently identified as part of NASA’s Kepler Project, the search for habitable planets around any star visibile from Earth.
The Kepler project works by essentially staring at any distant star and watching for the tiny flicker of darkness that happens when a planet orbits between the star and Earth. It’s very similar to what we saw during the recent Transit of Venus.
Kepler-11 is a six planet system around a distant star! Astronomer Alex Parker has taken their orbits and distances from their star and given them each a note. Then, as they orbit, their note is played, with larger planets getting louder notes.
Of course, their orbits don’t match up to our usual Earthly time signatures. Th resulting musical piece is something that teeters on the edge of resolution, but never quite getting there. Sort of like the search for exoplanets themselves.
Previously: This is a wonderful translation of astronomical data into music, and it reminds me of this hauntingly beautiful piece designed after our own solar system: Mandala. (Probably the best of its kind)
