The vacuum of space is supposed to be silent. The atoms are far apart and do not allow sound waves to propagate. However, every cry dies before it begins. This does not mean that some sounds cannot occur. In fact, if we could hear them, Some solar system bodies will emit a deafening scream.
Unfortunately we don’t hear them But we can transform the plasma waves that ripple around it. Plasma waves form when electrons become trapped in magnetic field lines around large objects, such as planets. If we convert plasma wave frequencies into sound, we can Hear their terrifying screams and cries.
Every body in the solar system has its own sounds. the sun, for example, must roar as its surface oscillates. Scientists have calculated that if sound could propagate through space, We could hear the sun as a continuous roar at 100 decibels.
The sound of the heart of our galaxy
the The first sounds from space were recorded by astronomer Karl Goethe Jansky in 1932. He built a rotating radio telescope using… Nicknamed “Jansky’s Merry-Go-Round”, which is designed to detect a specific range of radio frequencies. When the data started arriving, there was a constant background noise. Jansky discovered that it was not random noise, but The heartbeat of our galaxy itself.
When we started sending sensors into space with… Sputnik launch in 1957We started to get more data, which was taken from the instruments on these sensors. These include instruments designed to capture invisible forms of light, as well as plasma waves in the sometimes chaotic environments around the solar system’s planets.
Radio waves are not sound; A form of light in which audio data can be encodedWhen the receiver receives it, it is converted back into sound. Cell phones work in a similar way. The technology for converting electromagnetic waves into sound is well established.
Voices of Earth and Saturn
In fact, we’ve even heard Radio waves in space, which scientists translate into spoken words. It has been radio waves from Earth leaking into space, but this proves that the data collected by these devices is accurate.
Plasma waves swirling around planets can also occur Create interesting screams and whistles, known as a “chorus.” the Terrestrial plasma waves can sound like birds or whales.
the Saturn, with its complex system of moons and rings, sounds like a soundtrack from a weird 1950s sci-fi movie.
Even Jupiter’s moons have their own complex sound files. Ghostly noises have been recorded emanating from Europa and Ganymede resembling robotic “flashes” and “bleeps.”
Mars doesn’t have a strong magnetic field, but we know what its winds look like. like this Both the InSight lander and the Perseverance rover recorded the haunting, lonely sounds of the Martian wind.
This is not limited to the solar system only. Space is vast and strange, and… Converting light into sounds could help scientists discover hidden details they may have overlooked.
