A new study of infant stars in the Perseus and Orion star-forming regions suggests that most close pairs of stars are born as twins in the same disk, rather than drifting together later from larger distances.

Sonidos de ALMA
Sonidos de ALMA es un punto de encuentro entre la radioastronomía captada por el Atacama Large Millimeter/submilliter Array (ALMA) y la música de quienes quieran crear obras a partir de observaciones del radiotelescopio más importante del mundo.
Nació de la inquietud recurrente de artistas y astrónomos por comprender y trascender el Universo. El proyecto germina junto con la llegada a Chile del festival de música e innovación Sonar+D: el ambiente perfecto para que astrónomos y músicos busquen un lenguaje común. Es así como la organización del festival propone el proyecto a ALMA y en conjunto dieron el primer impulso a la idea.
La tarea no fue fácil. Las ondas captadas por ALMA son de una naturaleza completamente distinta a la materia prima habitual de los músicos. El astrónomo de ALMA, Antonio Hales y el ingeniero de la Universidad de Chile, Ricardo Finger, debieron desarrollar un método que mantenga el origen cósmico en los sonidos creados.
Sonidos de ALMA es una iniciativa que busca interpretar y decodificar las frecuencias del Universo transformándolas en sonidos, para que realizadores de todo el mundo puedan componer, compartir y crear una comunidad unida por una búsqueda que ha cautivado al ser humano desde hace miles de años.
