This image is photo-shopped (or at least I'm 99% positive). Alex Parker and Melissa Grahm are composers whom embarked on the journey to create a sonata out of a supernova, type Ia(explosions of white dwarf stars). They made use of the Canadian France Hawaii Telescope's data from a span of three years. Fainter supernova play quieter notes, and closer ones are denoted by louder ones. They also varied instruments in order to create a lovely symphony of sounds.
