Sound needs a medium to travel, something to bounce off, and since space is known as an empty vacuum, we shouldn’t be able to hear anything, right? Sound does exist in the form of electromagnetic vibrations that pulsate in similar wavelengths, according to NASA.
In the quest to determine whether space is an empty, soundless vacuum, NASA designed special instruments that could record these electromagnetic vibrations, and transferred them into sounds our ears could hear. The result is astonishing.
“Through specially designed instruments, the NASA Voyager, INJUN 1, ISEE 1, and HAWKEYE space probes used plasma wave antenna to record the vibrations all within the range of human hearing (20-20,000 Hz).
“The recorded sounds are the complex interactions of charged electromagnetic particles from the Solar Wind, ionisphere, and planetary magnetosphere.
“The recordings include, Saturn’s rings, Miranda, Neptune, Voice of Earth, Saturn, Jupiter, IO, Rings of Uranus, Song of Earth, and Uranus.”
“Strictly speaking, the plasma wave instrument does not detect sound. Instead, it senses waves of electrons in the ionized gas or ‘plasma’ that Voyager travels through. These waves, however, do take place at frequencies that humans can detect.”
“We can play the data through a loudspeaker and listen. The pitch and frequency tell us about the density of gas surrounding the spacecraft.”
i so LOVE this!
Me too! So ethereal, and yet It feels so familiar…

Feels like home….enjoy the Cosmic journey.
Thank you Cnawan for this ethereal experience with so much heart resonance for me.
I wanted to comment but my sound does not seem to be working, Cnawan. Oh, yes I do believe Earth has Her own Song. She is Alive. I have the goosebumps. Love, Amy
I hope your sound returns soon! Hey…what’s up with your gravatar image….that rose isn’t’ pink! : )
LOL I know. I thought a nice change for the Autumn was in order. Hmmm … Does that mean I must change my name to LadyOrangeRose. Tee hee …… NAH! That sounds terrible! Do you think I should change it back to pink? Yey, nay? xx Amy
Hey Amy, I just found this earlier comment of yours in my spam folder. Not sure why this one should have landed there…unless the filter took exception to “LadyOrangeRose”…cause that just sounds a bit suspicious… : )
I THOUGHT I commented on this. I thought it was weird that the “arrow” that indicates I responded wasn’t there. Thank you for freeing from me the dungeon of spam. Now I feel better. That’s my sign that LadyOrangeRose is a no go. LOL Love, Amy
I thought I replied. Hmmmm …. I thought orange would be a nice change for Autumn. What do you think?
Despite Shakespeare’s admonitions to the contrary…
“At Christmas I no more desire a rose
Than wish a snow in May’s new-fangled shows;
But like of each thing that in season grows”
I feel it best that your image should always mirror and transmit your essence throughout all the seasons.
Warm embraces to you… : )
Thank you, Cnawan. I do know what I shall do now. Thank you for making my life less complicated. Back I go to Pink. And stay there. (((HUGS))) Amy

Sharing. The sounds are so comforting. I couldn’t help but think of being in my mothers womb and hearing similar sounds. It was my connection to my mother. One of many. Thank you Cnawan
Wonderful associations, Dawn. Thank you.
Fascinating!
It really is…
Your soul feels it…thank you so much for sharing this. x
mmmm….it does, it does. Thank you, Jane.
Amazing! I loved listening to these sounds, especially the song of the earth.
Yes, so remarkable!
Neptune sounded like water or waves crashing and it’s blue. Interesting. I enjoyed this! Who would have ever thought of this!!! You have an amazing mind!
Science is so cool!
