Name: Sol 98 SEIS Spatialized Reflective by NASA
Duration: 1 min 51 s
Description: A recording of sounds created by InSight's robotic arm as its camera scanned the surface of Mars on March 6, 2019, the 98 th Martian day, or sol, of the mission. Also captured are wind gusts and "dinks" produced by friction inside of InSight's seismometer, called SEIS.

Any way i would be allowed or able to use these sounds in samples? I don't see any NASA sounds that are downloadable? Really wanted to play with some of this in Pro Tools lol

Messier 51 (M51) is perhaps better known by its nickname, the Whirlpool Galaxy, because its face-on orientation to us highlights its winding spiral arms. This gives our telescopes a different perspective on a spiral galaxy similar to our Milky Way, whose structure we cannot observe directly since we’re inside it. The sonification tracks along a line emanating from the galaxy's core to the edge of the image and scanning clockwise. The light encountered by this line has been mapped to the notes of a melodic minor scale. The sequence represents optical data from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. 

At this wavelength, the spiral arms are prominent, so the pitch creeps upward as the spiral stretches farther from the core. The bright core, which harbors a supermassive black hole, produces a constant low hum punctuated by short sounds from compact bright sources within the galaxy.

Quiet Mantra IV by Mathias D. Clain
Live played music; modular synthesizer (drone) and acoustic instruments through microphones, signal processing and mixing done in the moment with some minor edits in the DAW.

A recording recently rediscovered in the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory audio archives comes from Project Relay, an early satellite communications project. Relay, managed by NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, involved an “active” satellite that received and retransmitted signals on a different frequency. In this audio file from Jan. 29, 1963, Jack James, manager of the Mariner program exploring the inner solar system at JPL, speaks with John Glenn, who was then providing astronaut input into the new Apollo program.

A recording of a magnitude 3.7 marsquake from InSight's seismometer, called SEIS. This quake was recorded on May 22, 2019 (the 173rd Martian day, or sol, of the mission). Far below the human range of hearing, this sonification from SEIS had to be sped up and slightly processed to be audible through headphones.

One year and three trips around the Sun later, NASA's Parker Solar Probe heard some weird, sci-fi sounds from plasma within the solar wind -- and those sounds may answer unanswered questions about how the wind forms.

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.
