The Spooky Sounds of Saturn's Rings



They?re eerie and otherworldly, exactly the kinds of bizarre noises you would expect to hear in a sci-fi film ? but they?re actually real recordings from another planet. The Cassini spacecraft began detecting these auroral radio emissions from Saturn?s atmosphere in 2002, which have natural rising and falling tones similar to those emitted by Earth.

The NASA recordings have been compressed and compiled into this single spooky track, and it?s all too easy to imagine all kinds of things within them, from alien speech to a spacecraft taking off.
