NASA Shares the Sound of the Solar System’s Largest Satellite

The US Aerospace Agency (NASA) launched the Juno satellite into space in 2011. The moon, which arrived at Jupiter in 2016, has been collecting data from the planet and its moons ever since. The last data from Juno was electromagnetic waves emitted by a satellite and then converted into sound.

NASA shared the sound of Jupiter’s icy moon Ganymede. Electromagnetic waves emitted by Ganymede, the largest satellite in the Solar System, were recorded with Juno’s instrument called ‘Waves’. NASA, on the other hand, turned these waves into sound, as it had done with other objects before.

Voices from Ganymede:

Passing by the gas giant Jupiter’s moon Ganymede, which has 79 satellites in its orbit, Juno recorded the waves it received from Ganymede during its transit. The sounds that were turned into voices after NASA got their hands on it were quite interesting. Speaking about the sound of this satellite, which is larger than Mercury, Juno principal researcher Scott Bolton used the following statements in a statement:

The music is lively enough to make you feel as if you are walking past Ganymede for the first time in over two decades. If you listen carefully, you can hear abrupt changes in frequencies that indicate entry into another region of Ganymede’s magnetosphere.
