NASA recorded the sounds of Jupiter's moon

The audio recording was made during a close flyby of the satellite.

NASA has published a fragment of the sound of Ganymede, a satellite of Jupiter. The 50-second audio track was recorded by the Juno space station using data from the Waves device.

Juno researcher Scott Bolton of the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio presented a 50-second audio track created on the basis of data collected during the mission's close flyby of Jupiter's moon Ganymede on June 7, 2021. Then it flew at a record 1038 kilometers from Ganymede at a speed of 67 km/h.

"This soundtrack is wild enough to make you feel like you're a passenger on Juno as it flies past Ganymede for the first time in more than two decades," said Scott Bolton.

Note that since there is no sound in space, Waves measured electric and magnetic radio waves in Jupiter's magnetosphere and converted them into audio signals.
