Spacecraft get artsy ...

What does the Kaguya lunar orbiter and the CBC Radio 2's show The Signal have in common? They both play weird and yet (sometimes) tantalizing "music"! Some crazy folks over at JAXA are using the laser altimeter's data from the spacecraft to generate music based on the relief of the moon: Moonbell. Isn't it cool?
