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.

  • ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS EXCEPT EUROPA. ATTEMPT NO LANDING THERE.

  • Imagina walking a desert plain on a strange planet and these are the only sounds you can hear.

  • sounds like exactly what it is ... a hollow gas ball

  • @CatroiOz U mad ?

  • *world

  • Sounds like those strange noises heard in many places all over the worlds.

  • @bamazudi Are you fucking kidding me --'

    The beginning explanation was just abstruse to me, that's all.

    All I wrote is scientifically correct, by the way.

  • I think this is 90 truly sound

  • Space is scary

  • @KindaGamey why not?

  • The waves of energy-not actual sound-is recorded and converted to frequency data generated in a wave editor to produce sound waves possible for us to hear

  • Very creepy, yet soothing at the same time
