  We have created a show about the Solar System, freely available for both
planetariums and home viewing, where objects in space are represented with
sound as well as with visuals. For example, the audience listens to the stars
appear above the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope and they
hear the planets orbit around their heads. The aim of this show is that it can
be enjoyed and understood, irrespective of level of vision. Here we describe
how we used our new computer code, STRAUSS, to convert data into sound for the
show. We also discuss the lessons learnt during the design of the show,
including how it was imperative to obtain a range of diverse perspectives from
scientists, a composer and representatives of the blind and vision impaired
community.
