Superheavy Neutron Star Merger's Audio Jumps Thousands Of Hertz In Simulation

See a pair of superheavy neutron stars collide in this simulation with gravitational wave audio. "An audible tone and a visual frequency scale (at left) track the steady rise in the frequency of gravitational waves as the neutron stars close," according to NASA's Goddard Spaceflight Center.
