This edition of website spotlight combines astronomy and art with the Wheel of Stars. In short Jim Bumgardner used star data to create a rotating sky where as each star passes the meridian a musical tone is played based on various attributes of that star. Each star tone's pitch is based on the star's color temperature, volume is based on the star's magnitude, and for stereo panning the star's location on the screen. Listen to the Wheel of Stars and read more about its creation at http://wheelof.com/stars/.Thank you to club member Silas for this link!
