Domenico Vicinanza, uno de los empleados de Géant, la red de ordenadores que conecta las redes europeas de investigación y educación, es doctor en física y músico.
Así que armado con datos de los contadores de protones de la Voyager 1 y de la Voyager 2 cogidos de hora en hora, sincronizados en el tiempo para que se correspondan, aunque ambas naves siguen rutas distintas dentro del sistema solar, convirtió 320.000 medidas tomadas a lo largo de 37 años en música.

Se pueden descargar los archivos de audio y la presentación de Domenico cuando hizo público este proyecto de Google Drive.
