Radio Bursts From Jupiter

[KarbineKyle]

Nice Video! Jupiter's magnetosphere is the largest region in the Solar System, except for the Sun's magnetosphere. Jupiter's magnetosphere actually stretches all the way to Saturn, and has an infulence on all the objects in the Solar System. It's emissions can actually be found and heard when tuning into the radio sometimes. Venus and Mars have almost no magnetosphere because there cores have cooled down, and Venus rotates extremely slow, retrograde actually. It's day is longer than its year!

i get these same burst on my cb radio sometimes when radio traffic is dead. i have a 5ft fiberglass whip antenna. i usually get this kind of signal near the late afternoon hours.

[truemartian]

@bradmann85 Could be the sun actually. Jupiter is not audible during daylight hours because the ionosphere is too ionized by UV from the sun. You also need at least two half wave dipoles to hear Jupiter properly.

[bradmann85]

@truemartian cool thanks.

[kb7clx]

@truemartian Really? When the sunspot cycle is in a low?

[truemartian]

@kb7clx No, you're much more likely to hear solar bursts during solar maximum than minimum. 

[guneetify]

@bradmann85 can u tell me how to make an antenna for the radio jove please

[truemartian]

@guneetify You can order the antenna kit from the Radio Jove Project home page. Simply type Radio Jove in your search engine. There are even construction manuals for the project, including the antennas, in the help section.

Hmm it gets realy intense later. I was told that such signals/sounds can come from many other unsignicant sources from space. But it is still worth to examine isnt it?

[truemartian]

@BosnianMilitia There are lots of sources of radio noise from space. This particular instance has been well documented since its discovery in 1955. Jupiter's decametric radio storms are predictable.

[BosnianMilitia]

@truemartian Is there more like it? Seems like a very rare accurance,

[truemartian]

@BosnianMilitia You can find more samples of radio bursting on the NASA Radio Jove website. Just last night radio astronomers around the world reported some bursting.

[BosnianMilitia]

@truemartian Thanx, I will

[DoomTheSpaceMarine]

sounds like someone farted for a half hour hahahaha..

[clickingpinging]

Anyone knows if there is a video that plays records of gamma ray bursts?

[mrjustin5]

Ok, these are the SHORT bursts of radiowaves coming from Jupiter... but what about the LONG Bursts? I'd like to hear that. Jupiter is such a strange planet. It GIVES OFF FAR more energy than it recieves. Its highly radioactive, it has an intense electrical field around it. No one knows how or when it formed in the solar system. The moons around it are astonishing. The atmosphere is utterly bizarre.

[truemartian]

@mrjustin5 You can find samples of long burst in the Radio Jove archive on the Radio Jove web site. They sound like crashing ocean waves.

1:37 o.o

[rapper250]

go to 1070 am on one way radio

[Columbo794]

Sounds like TV static or white noise.

[pajamaninja367]

this is awesome

[RadioflyerGeri]

How nice to hear and see again those bursts Jason, really brings back my great memories of observations at PRAO. I miss that feeling of staying at my little, own observatory being tuned to Jupiter and the Galactic Center while the Moon was hanging over the mountains around and there were only night birds singing in the background...

[jovian23]

I do the research about Jubiter observation.Observe what the Jupiter emit..i need to construct my own anntena..can you all give some suggestion to improve it?

[myco578]

get one bigass anntena

[Victim0fSociety]

myco578, I lol'd

[ambull79]

Forget my previous post. I see now where you note the frequency and scanner. Doh!

[ambull79]

How do you pick up radio signals from space besides using a radio telescope? I know you can pick up trasmissions from the space station, satellites and other man made objects by using a traditional radio scanner with a decent antenna. But can you pick up transmissions from space with a scanner also? That would be incredible. Very cool stuff truemartian.

[gambitraven]

if you get far enought away from citys and trun your car radio to am you can hear the universe

[iviewthetube]

Some of it is the universe. The frequency of the cosmic microwave background peaks at about 160.4 Ghz; That corresponds to a wavelength of 1.869mm and a Plank's temperature of 2.725K (the temperature of the universe).

[JJ2422]

Why is there radio emissions coming out of jupiter?

[truemartian]

All bodies emit some radio energy. Even YOU! This shortwave emission from Jupiter is the result of the interaction between particles in the radiation environment around Jupiter and its extremely strong magnetic field.

[gambitraven]

just because u find it to be common knowlodge doesnt mean that its common knowlodge not everything thing is common knowlodge but one thing is sure that your ignorance is common knowlodge
