Discover what NASA’s Earth data sounds like when it’s turned into music. With each passing Earth Day, the drums get louder. Every sound and instrument tell a story.

The higher the pitch of the music, the more data collected from NASA Earth science missions. The guitar represents the mission launches. The orchestra is split up based on the field of each mission:

Strings = Atmosphere
High Woodwinds = Geosphere
Low Woodwinds = Hydrosphere
High Brass = Cryosphere
Low Brass = Biosphere
