Jupiter sounds (so strange!) NASA-Voyager recording

Back


From an original CD: JUPITER NASA-VOYAGER SPACE SOUNDS (1990) BRAIN/MIND Research
Fascinating recording of Jupiter sounds (electromagnetic "voices") by NASA-Voyager. The complex interactions of charged electromagnetic particles from the solar wind , planetary magnetosphere etc. create vibration "soundscapes". It sounds very interesting, even scary.
Jupiter is mostly composed of hydrogen and helium. The entire planet is made of gas, with no solid surface under the atmosphere. The pressures and temperatures deep in Jupiter are so high that gases form a gradual transition into liquids which are gradually compressed into a metallic "plasma" in which the molecules have been stripped of their outer electrons. The winds of Jupiter are a thousand metres per second relative to the rotating interior. Jupiter's magnetic field is four thousand times stronger than Earth's, and is tipped by 11° degrees of axis spin. This causes the magnetic field to wobble, which has a profound effect on trapped electronically charged particles. This plasma of charged particles is accelerated beyond the magnetosphere of Jupiter to speeds of tens of thousands of kilometres per second. It is these magnetic particle vibrations which generate some of the sound you hear on this recording.

This sounds similar to, y'know, wind. I like it.

soo all that ambient noise is Jupiter?

a perfectly good waste of time.
cant u post a real video?

it makes me even think tht this is faked though i don't seriously thk it's so...around 1.24, it's like someone is operatin a HP filter or somethin... lol...

is that pic. or movie?

Makes me think of the Waterphone sound you get in some synths.

actually, i take it back..... if you want the "real" explanation, read the comments about this video in the blue box to the right of the video. perhaps we spoke too soon. lol noobs! :D

there is a difference between a microphone and a radio receiver. it may be possible that the sounds were created from radio receivers but it was never stated that that was the case, and to be honest the title is a little misleading with not enough information to draw conclusions. obviously if that is the case, than it is a simple explanation.

It just sounds like some guy with a synth...I heard wierd shit like this on the radio. But wow. Is it really?
