Cool! The song of Jupiter’s moon, Ganymede
Ganymede is the largest of Jupiter’s dozens of moons (and the largest moon in the Solar System) is an interesting place. Juno, a spacecraft that’s been studying the Jovian system, completed a flyby back in June used its onboard instruments (the “Juno Wave” instrument) to listen in to the radio emissions made by the moon as it travels through Jupiter’s magnetosphere. Those radio emissions were then shifted into the range of human hearing.
The result is something like a trippy Brian Eno ambient composition. Or something like that. Whatever you want o call it, this is pretty cool. The whole story can be found here.
