Moonbell: Making The Moon Sing, OnOrbit
“According to this unusual website “Moonbell” that JAXA has set up “moonbell transforms the topography of the moon into sound”. Once you click the open button, you see a small satellite or probe orbiting the Moon. As it passes over the varied topography of the moon (visualized in the upper right hand corner) music is played (also visualized – in the lower right hand corner). You can rotate the globe so as to focus your view on the probe’s orbital path.”
