Sounds from outer space are weird, if not downright spooky.

Be ready for a goosebump or two as you feast your ears on some of the greatest sounds gathered during the exploration of the Saturnian system.

“Bizarre Sounds of Saturn’s Radio Emission “

This one sounds like a guitar effects ring modulator.

Similar sounds come from the bathroom in the early morning.

[Jackknife]

Maybe Sun Ra was onto something?

Now, that's just damn funny ........

If I were from Birmingham, Ala., I would probably have said I was from Saturn, too. HehHehHehHeh (See, groing up here in Ga., we loved making 'Alabama' jokes!)

[lilylangtree]

I gotta wait until I get to the office to hear them. I’m sure I’ll find them highly interesting.

oh neat...nice post

[Blue Highway]

Yeah I remember Indy 500 on my Atari 2600 had sounds like that.

[SampleMan]

Sound in space? The medium free vacuum of space? How exactly is that possible?

I think that only happens in the movies.

This is radio waves I presume, synthesized into sound.

Quoting from her website...

“Described by Time Magazine as “a cross between Carl Sagan and Madonna”, astrophysicist, author and recording artist Dr. Fiorella Terenzi received her doctorate in physics from the University of Milan, has studied opera and composition at Conservatory G. Verdi, and taught mathematics and physics at Liceo Scientifico, Milan. In research at the Computer Audio Research Laboratory, University of California, San Diego, she developed techniques to convert radio waves from galaxies into sound - released by Island Records on her acclaimed CD “Music from the Galaxies””.

That was awesome. Imagine the weirdest sounds ever from 1950’s Sci Fi movies...those are the sounds that Saturn makes.

[mikrofon]

What you get when the space probes act like a stylus on Saturn’s rings...

groing? And this is why it's so easy for us Alabamians to make jokes about Georgia. ;)

Oh great, now I’ve got that last one repeating in my brain brain brain brainbrai...
