And if there’s one planet we don’t want to stumble across the next time we’re stuck in outer space, it’s got to be Venus. Now, NASA is hoping to capture more recordings from Mars, thanks to the Perseverance rover. Read more: ‘The Planets’, performed on the very piano Holst ...
Hearing is the last of the five senses we have yet to exercise on the Red Planet. To gain some insights into the Martian soundscape, the Mars 2020 Rover will be outfitted with audio equipment from DPA Microphones. NASA’s Mars 2020 Rover is taking off in
Among them is Apollo 15 astronaut Al Worden,who thinks the sounds came from a source in outer space.In the episode of NASA’s Unexplained Files, which discusses the origin of the strange music,the astronaut says, “Logic tells me that if there was something recorded on there,then there ...
due to the fact that the plasma wave instrument on NASA's Polar spacecraft haspicked up these signals from Earth. Unlike tuning in to your favourite radio program, though, the sounds of space are a whole lot stranger: the howls and whistles of radiation, lightning, plasma waves, coronal ma...
The teamwork of trees and machine, a public science project called The Tree of Life, "connects Earth and outer space through a song, which is sent via radio waves between a spacecraft and an unlikely technological part: a set of live trees" reads a description of the project from the Sp...
Bill Kurth, a space physicist at the University of Iowa, was an early proponent of data sonification for space science. Starting in the 1970s, he worked on data collected by NASA’s Voyager probes as they flew past the outer planets of the solar system. Kurth studied results from the prob...
Snowden (NASA/GSFC) and G. Ramos-Larios (IAM)) Paul Sutter is an astrophysicist at The Ohio State University and the chief scientist at COSI Science Center. Sutter is also host of the podcasts Ask a Spaceman and RealSpace, and the YouTube series Space In Your Face. Sometimes I ...
There will be more such missions in the near future. NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft, which collected samples from the asteroid Bennu in October, is expected to return to Earth in 2023. Russia’s Lunar-25 mission is scheduled to launch to the moon in 2021 to collect lunar samples. ...
But next year, a ship from Earth will fly closer to it than any man made craft has flown before. The mission(任务)is a big development for scientists and, maybe, for everyone else.In September 2018, NASA plans to launch the Parker Solar Probe. After a journey of nearly 90 million ...
