NASA released the 52nd sound, which was produced from data recorded by the Juno spacecraft. The recording was made by Juno as it approached Ganymedes, Jupiter, and the solar system’s largest moon on June 7, 2021.
Juno was able to fly 1,038 kilometers from the surface at a speed of 67,000 kilometers per hour, while recording the waves emitted by Ganymede using an instrument called waves tuned to electrical and magnetic radio waves generated in Jupiter’s magnetosphere. NASA scientists transformed the frequencies of magnetic and electric radio waves returning to Earth into the audible sound range, and created the published material (lent). In the middle of the recording, you can also see when the probe enters another region of Ganymede’s magnetic field, where the sound is heard at a higher frequency.
In addition to the audio material Also posted pictures space agency. One shows two circling Jupiter storms, launched by the spacecraft on November 29, and the other depicts the surface of Ganymede, which was recorded in the approach of June 7.
Ten years ago, Juno blasted off from Earth in 2011 to study the moons of Jupiter and the planet. After Ganymede, he will study Europa and Io the moons. And now let’s hear Ganymede:
