Creation Moment 1/27/2021 - Celestial Music Box

 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God....
Hebrews 11:3
 
"LISTEN: Five planets resonate to a fascinating rhythm
This exoplanet system pirouettes with a surprisingly musical cadence.
NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and ground-based telescopes of the European Southern Observatory have uncovered a system of at least six exoplanets, and five of them remain locked in a delicate chain of resonances: 18:9:6:4:3.

In other words, in the time it takes for the innermost planet to orbit its host star (dubbed TOI-178) 18 times, the next closest planet orbits nine times, the one inside that completes six orbits, the next planet four, and, finally, the outermost planet makes three laps.

 Watch and listen for yourself with the BELOW animation, which sets the system to musical pitches. The result is a celestial music box: Each of the five planets is assigned a note in a pentatonic scale (like the black keys on a piano) that's played every time the planet completes one-half or a full orbit, forming more complicated chords when all the worlds line up together."
