NASA Space Sounds

[PorkChopSandwiches]

You’ve probably heard that there’s no sound in space, but technically that’s not true. Sound does exist in the form of electromagnetic vibrations that pulsate in similar wavelengths.

What NASA did was design special instruments that could record these electromagnetic vibrations, and transferred them into sounds our ears could hear. What you’re about hear is actual sound in space, nothing has been added. It’s a beautiful, yet haunting sound that even Hans Zimmer would approve of.

io sounds like where Kirk fought that green dude

[Hal-9000]

and just what is causing these electromagnetic vibrations?


I skipped through that....some damn creepy sounds

"The existence of Jupiter's magnetic field was first inferred from observations of radio emissions at the end of the 1950s and was directly observed by the Pioneer 10 spacecraft in 1973"

"caused by natural radio lasers near the planet's magnetic poles. "

"Jupiter's Io-controlled radio emissions don't go in all directions. The radio laser beam has the shape of a wide hollow cone. If Earth is inside the cone, we hear nothing. If Earth is outside the cone, we also hear nothing. But if Earth is in the narrow edge of the cone, we can hear some strong radio bursts.

Jupiter rotates once every 10 hours and the cone rotates with it like a lighthouse beam. To catch a radio storm you have to know (1) when Earth will be aligned with the edge of the cone and (2) when Io is in the right position to pour electrical energy into the storm zone. "
