A Chinese astronaut aboard Shenzhou 5 in 2003 heard an unexplained knocking sound that has remained a mystery for over two decades, with similar reports from subsequent missions, though no definitive explanation has been found.
NASA has released eerie solar system recordings that capture the sounds of our cosmos. By converting plasma waves into sound, scientists have discovered that each celestial object in our solar system emits its own unique sound. From the roaring hum of the Sun to the chirps of Jupiter's moons, these recordings offer an audible look into the cosmos. The recordings also extend beyond our solar system, capturing sounds from supermassive black holes and other celestial phenomena. While these recordings may not replace your favorite tunes, they provide a new way to experience the wonders of space.
NASA has turned data from telescopes into orchestral music, allowing people to hear the sounds of galaxies and stars in deep space. The data has been "sonified" into musical tones, with each galaxy producing a unique sound. The project aims to make the beauty of the universe accessible to visually impaired space enthusiasts and to help people process information in different ways. The latest video features the five galaxies of Stephan's Quintet, while other sonifications include R Aquarii and Messier 104.
