"This beautiful globular cluster harbours 22 millisecond pulsars with periods between 2 and 8 ms. Many of them have a binary companion. We can estimate that hundreds more of these objects are in the cluster, but they may be too weak to be detected.
The first sound file is a sequence of 16 of the known millisecond pulsars followed by them all played together.
The second file is a sequence of the pulsar sounds as they fade due to intensity variation caused by interstellar scintillation."
Absolutely mesmerizing.
