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 may be an stupid question, but...

If someone were in that same spot, he could hear that with the naked ear?

I know theres no oxygen in space then no sound can be heared, but im a little confused of what the video says at the beginning.

Please someone answer. Thanks.

we dont even know how life even get to evolve on earth? why would the lack of a solid surface inhibit life on jupiter. Life on earth is thriving in some prety harsh environments. maybe just maybe life might exist in the deep atmosphere of jupiter and has adapted acordingly.did u go to jupiter to know for sure ? guess not.unless we send probes that search everywhere...we wont know for sure.stop beyeng ignorant and dont say something does not exist because its unlikley.we are not alknowing are we?
