Music and space don't usually go together.

But the US national orchestra and NASA decided to work together.

They made 'Cosmic Cycles'.

Cosmic Cycles uses music and pictures.

The pictures are from a space telescope.

Henry Dehlinger wrote the music.

There are seven parts to the piece.

It starts with the Sun.

Then it goes on to the Earth and the Moon.

Then it tells us about the planets.

The last part's about the universe.

There are photographs and videos from astronauts too.

And there are pictures from NASA's technology.

So, what makes this special.

It's not a film.

These pictures are real.

The piece isn't only about amazing pictures.

Dehlinger learnt about the sounds of space too.

He put some space sounds into the music.

The first concert of Cosmic Cycles was last month.

It's now on NASA's website, on planet Earth.
