Wanna see (and hear!) something really fun? Solar Beat, a project by White Vinyl Design, employs a virtual orrery to illustrate the orbits of the planets, including Ceres and Pluto, through sight and sound.
Each planet is represented by its own note as it marks one full orbit around the Sun, creating a beautiful celestial melody. You can even adjust the tempo, from a somber slow to a more whimsical quick. For added fun, watch the “years passed” data at the bottom of the application. You’ll quickly grasp the differences between the inner planets vs the outer planets.
So, go ahead – click on the Solar Beat graphic and don’t forget to turn up your sound!
Thanks to @Go2SpaceNow for sharing this wonderful project!
