NASA probe hears "shriek" in space as it leaves solar system

Voyager finds out in space,everyone can hear you scream!
A strange, unearthly “shriek” greeted NASA’s Voyager I spacecraft as it became the first man-made object to enter interstellar space. A strange rising “howl” was detected by instruments aboard the 36-year-old probe, which has travelled 12 billion miles away from our sun.
The sound was transmitted back to scientists on Earth, over a distance so vast radio waves take 17 hours to reach us. Science site iO9 described the sounds as “creepy” and “wraithlike”.     (redicecreations.com)

  1. Interesting load of crap because sound does not travel in space. You need an atmosphere for sound to travel.

  2. Some say that "outer space" is liquid

  3. The plasma waves are inaudible in space, but , “These frequencies are within the range heard by human ears,” says NASA. “The soundtrack reproduces the amplitude and frequency of the plasma waves as "heard" by Voyager 1. The waves detected by the instrument antennas can be simply amplified and played through a speaker.”

    Thats how Voyager was able to "hear" the shrieks Wanda. Not that difficult to understand.

  4. Right... they say it's plasma. And i do wonder because that is an evocative ideal... but there is no proof of it.

    But, here on earth, we can create vacuums... so we ascertain that sound does not carry in in the vacuum of space. And we can look at the moon, with all its craters and such and know it has no atmosphere because of said craters. The earth has an atmosphere and that is why the vast majority of meteors turn into mere streaks of light in the sky because our atmosphere destroys them.

    So... if space is plasma, how does the atmosphere get sucked out of the moon? Does it have a bubble of non atmosphere around it? I don't think that can happen... because it doesn't happen here.

    As above, so below.
