From CD: JUPITER NASA-VOYAGER SPACE SOUNDS
A 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.

  • thankyou for the best information

  • A morzę NASA coś wie ale nie ujawnia ps czy to jakiś sygnał od obcych ALIENS

  • To put it all in understandable terms: If you could 'hear' the electromagnetic spectrum, space would be full of sounds.

  • @NaziOmega Again if you weren't an idiot/nazi you would understand that it's science... not a belief.. dickheadomega

  • @Ojoe2010 Gives a hell of a swing :)

  • @SiskNBAS and if u weren't an idiot u would respect others whoever they are and whatever thoughts they believe :)

  • @NaziOmega no sir.. that is real.. if you weren't an idiot you would understand that.. nazidouchebag!!!!

  • refreshing i love it :)

  • @Radhazardman Well said :)
