Im as part of the NASA project HARP were data to Erdmagnetfeld converted into an audible sound. The NASA published the audio sequence on YouTube. Strange noises such as crunching and hissing can be heard. EIt sounds almost like filling a vessel with water and then emptying it again.
These sounds are created when plasma waves from the sun interact with the earth’s magnetic field. The field lines vibrate like the strings of a harp when plucked. When plasma waves hit the magnetosphere, the area around Earth dominated by its magnetic field, fluctuations are created in the plasma shield. “Ultra low frequency” radio waves are released in the process.
Frequencies recorded from satellites
The ultra-low frequencies are provided by 5 satellites launched in 2007 THEMIS-Mission recorded traveling through the magnetosphere. These radio waves are then converted into audible sounds. This should make it easier for researchers to identify irregularities in the plasma shield. This is an invisible barrier that protects us from harmful radiation and solar storms.
If researchers detect irregularities in the plasma shield, they could gain new insights into the magnetosphere and the sun.
Supernova sings
Converting space data into sounds is not new. NASA has also translated other cosmic phenomena, such as a supernova or a black hole, into sounds.
