REAL LIFE NEWS: VOYAGER I SENDS US SPACE SOUNDS

by Hazed

Voyager 1 has left the building – or rather the system – and it has now sent home a recording of the sound of space. The “noise” is that of a pressure wave caused by a coronal mass from the Sun passing by in March.

The wave was detected by the craft’s cosmic ray instrument and plasma wave instrument as it traversed the craft. The source link below lets you hear the noise of the wave as heard by Voyager.
