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.
