Spooky sounds recorded from Jupiter's aurora

October 12, 2016 17:27

Scientists have recorded haunting sounds cast by Jupiter's auroras, captured by NASA's solar-powered Juno spacecraft during its first full orbit around the king of planets.

The radio emissions cast by Jupiter's auroras - light shows similar to the northern and southern lights on Earth - were recorded by an instrument, called Waves, as the Juno spacecraft traveled about 4,100 km above Jupiter's swirling clouds.

Those emission recordings were then converted into sound files by researchers at University of Iowa.

The emissions from Jupiter were discovered in the 1950s but had never been analysed from such a close vantage point, according to NASA.
