Nine creepy sounds from space

No one can hear your screams when you’re in space. While that is true, it doesn’t mean it’s completely silent, cause there are plenty of waves that can move through a vacuum and be translated into sounds that our ears can hear.

In the last decades, a number of satellites have been sent to space. These vessels left with a sensor able to hear certain sounds, such as radio and plasma waves. We can hear these space waves as sounds via a technological intermediary, as PC Mag reports.

These sounds have an effect on our brains, cause they are super spooky. They help us appreciate better what it’s like to be in outer space. Check out this list for nine creepy sounds captured by NASA in the past decades.

What Jupiter sounds like

NASA’s Cassini spacecraft stopped by Jupiter to receive a gravitational boost en route to its final destination, while on its legendary 20-year mission to Saturn. In January 2001, it captured these alien-like radio signals.

What Europa sounds like

The interaction of Europa and Jupiter’s magnetospheres resulted in these plasma fluctuations that the Galileo spacecraft managed to capture while passing by the Jovian moon Europa.

What Ganymede sounds like

When Galileo passed by Jupiter’s moon Ganymede, it observed a bizarre plasma wave that proved Ganymede has its own magnetosphere. The interactions between Ganymede and Jupiter’s massive magnetosphere resulted in these sounds when translated.

What Jupiter’s ‘Bow Shock’ sounds like

When the solar wind meets the strong magnetic force surrounding a planet, all its motion energy is converted to thermal energy. The energized region is called a “bow shock”. The sound was captured by the Voyager spacecraft.

What Callisto sounds like

Out of the four largest moons, Callisto seems to have the weakest interaction with Jupiter’s magnetosphere.

What thunderstorms on Saturn sound like

Evidence of lightning deep within Saturn has existed ever since Voyager flew by. These sounds were captured in 2006 by Cassini and show the chaotic environment that lies under Saturn’s cloud top.

What crossing Saturn’s ring sounds like

Cassini’s Radio and Plasma Wave Science instrument recorded this static as it crossed the plane of Saturn’s rings in December 2016.

What Voyager crossing into interstellar space sounds like

This is basically the audio version of a graph of the Voyager’s Plasma Wave Science observations of several months between 2012 and 2013. The translation of the waves mark the period at which scientists think Voyager exited our solar system’s heliopause, being the first human-made object to do this.

What Jupiter’s ionosphere sounds like

NASA’s Juno spacecraft managed to capture the sound of plasma waves in Jupiter’s ionosphere in February 2017.
