Interesante información. Gracias, tío NASA.

This is a frozen moment in time - a transect across a beautiful swirling eddy off the coast of the Kamchatka Peninsula in the Western Bering Sea, as seen from space. The melody corresponds directly to the intensity of red (Rrs-667), green (Rrs-547), and blue (Rrs-443) spectral ocean reflectance data, as detected by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) onboard the Aqua satellite. 

Listen closely as the colors harmonize and diverge, manifesting the natural patterns created by microscopic life in the ocean.

In this season four finale, Gentry Lee and Rob Manning reveal how surprises, hidden flaws, and uncertainties have always been a part of rovers and the exploration of Mars.

On a Mission: Season 4, Episode 12: Secrets Of The Mars Rovers

Between Earth and the Sun, space is not truly empty but is filled with a soup of charged particles called plasma. This plasma comes from the Sun, pumped out in a steady stream called the solar wind and sporadically blasted away in explosive solar eruptions. When this solar plasma strikes Earth, it causes the magnetic field lines and plasma around Earth to vibrate like the plucked strings of a harp, producing ultralow-frequency waves.

In 2007, NASA launched five satellites to fly through Earth’s magnetic “harp” – its magnetosphere – as part of the THEMIS mission (Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms). Since then, THEMIS has been gathering a bounty of information about plasma waves across Earth’s magnetosphere. 

The frequencies of the waves THEMIS measures are too low for our ears to hear, however. So a NASA citizen science project called HARP – or Heliophysics Audified: Resonances in Plasmas – has sped up the waves recorded by THEMIS to convert them to sound waves.

In this clip from June 10-11, 2009, whistle sounds are repeatedly heard over ambient background whooshes and crunches and a few high-pitch chirps. The whistles change in pitch as a THEMIS spacecraft moves toward and away from Earth on one orbit, with a maximum altitude of about 50,000 miles. These sounds are related to Earth’s magnetic harp, which has longer magnetic strings and lower pitches farther away from Earth. The high-pitch chirps are related to high-frequency plasma waves that are smaller than the harp waves yet can have an outsized impact on Earth’s radiation belts and space weather.

¡Bienvenidos a la temporada piloto completa de Universo curioso de la NASA! Acompáñanos cada semana, mientras exploramos el cosmos en tu idioma.

Universo curioso de la NASA: primera temporada

Los astronautas de las misiones Apolo de la NASA trajeron consigo muestras de suelo lunar, que la comunidad científica continúa analizando. Pronto, una misión robótica traerá a la Tierra muestras de un asteroide y, más adelante, iremos a buscar muestras de Marte recolectadas por nuestro robot explorador Perseverance. ¿Cuáles son las ventajas de traer a la Tierra pedacitos de otros cuerpos planetarios? Explora estas misiones con el astroquímico José Aponte, la ingeniera Nayi Castro y la analista de política espacial Laura Delgado López.

LCROSS: Water on the Moon Song

CATBIRD SINGING AT THE BREAK OF DAY: A Gray Catbird singing from a thicket next to the outlet of woodland pond. Recorded 6:30am, 11 May 2016 at Connecticut Hill Wildlife Management Area near Ithaca, New York. © Lang Elliott.

I DELIGHT in gathering sound portraits of common species, with emphasis on depicting each bird dimensionally “in its habitat,” embedded within a pleasant mix of other nature sounds. In years past, I toted a parabolic reflector and captured close-and-clean renditions virtually devoid of a sense of place. Those recordings certainly have their use (for ID guides), but they rate low in terms of aesthetics and provide little if any sense of place. How unnatural and ultimately boring!

Thus, you can imagine my delight when I encountered a Gray Catbird singing in a multiflora rose shrub next to the overflow of my beloved Ladyslipper Pond. How agreeable was the sound … the catbird’s leisurely song phrases set against the gurgling of water flowing down a small gully, with the subtle notes of other birds in the background. With great pleasure I recorded the male’s performance. I have a number of spacious catbird portraits in my collection, but I think this one is my best yet.

I look forward to hearing what everyone thinks, especially as it relates to the relative loudness of the catbird’s song versus the water sounds. Did I hit it on the nose, or is one or the other too loud? Remember, though, that this recording is meant specifically to be a sound-portrait of the catbird, not a mix of water gurgles with subtle bird songs.

Catbird Singing at the Break of Day

Hello, we’re NASA. You may have seen our astronauts, rocket launches, or Mars rovers — but have you heard our sounds? From interviews with astronauts and engineers to stories that take you on a tour of the galaxy, NASA’s audio offerings let you experience the thrill of space exploration without ever leaving Earth.
