The national orchestra of the US and the American space agency NASA have created something special.

It's called 'Cosmic Cycles'.

Cosmic Cycles uses amazing images from the James Webb space telescope.

The space film is shown with music, which was written by Henry Dehlinger.

The music, or symphony, is divided into seven parts.

It moves from the Sun, the Earth, the Moon, the planets and ends with the cosmos.

Art and science are mixed in an extraordinary way.

As well as the telescope images, Cosmic Cycles includes astronauts' photos and videos.

It also uses NASA's technological images.

It's hard to believe that the pictures aren't made up, or created by AI.

They aren't science fiction either, says Dehlinger.

Cosmic Cycles is more than surprising, beautiful images with music.

Dehlinger, also experienced space sounds, like a black hole.

He added these to his symphony.

And it's an incredibly spooky, eerie sound."

The symphony's already had its first performance.

But it's available for anyone on planet Earth, wherever you are, on NASA's website.
