Asonokirk V 2.0 May Appreciate This

[The Sym]

After viewing this video, I immediately thought of you V 2.0.... you may appreciate this video of the landing of the Huygens Probe on Titan. Enjoy. :)

Thank you, thank you, thank you. That was spectacular and awe-inspiring for sure. I love it!

Cool animation. I can't wait until they send one to Europa.

Glad you two enjoyed it. It had V 2.0 written all over it. Tycoon... I can't wait either for insertion into Europa's oceans..... I'm really really looking forward for some sign of life there.... little odd looking fish or plants.... anything.

It's only a matter of time.

In the meantime, here's some eerie radio transmissions from Saturn (http://www.nasa.gov/123163main_cas-skr1-112203.wav) for you to sample. Remixed some, but still...

Freaky.

these noises are really coming from Saturn? if so, do they know what is causing it?

Eerie Sounds of Saturn's Radio Emissions (http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/cassini/multimedia/pia07966.html)


Saturn is a source of intense radio emissions, which have been monitored by the Cassini spacecraft. The radio waves are closely related to the auroras near the poles of the planet. These auroras are similar to Earth's northern and southern lights. This is an audio file of radio emissions from Saturn.

The Cassini spacecraft began detecting these radio emissions in April 2002, when Cassini was 374 million kilometers (234 million miles) from the planet, using the Cassini radio and plasma wave science instrument. The radio and plasma wave instrument has now provided the first high resolution observations of these emissions, showing an amazing array of variations in frequency and time. The complex radio spectrum with rising and falling tones, is very similar to Earth's auroral radio emissions. These structures indicate that there are numerous small radio sources moving along magnetic field lines threading the auroral region.

Time on this recording has been compressed, so that 73 seconds corresponds to 27 minutes. Since the frequencies of these emissions are well above the audio frequency range, we have shifted them downward by a factor of 44.

The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The Cassini orbiter was designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The radio and plasma wave science team is based at the University of Iowa, Iowa City.

There's a graph and everything!! :jump2:

How weird is that--it sounds like the sound effects from a '50s sci fi movie!

[jwesty]

thanks for filling me in on what it was... I appreciate it.

And that's just three days worth of compressed transmission from Saturn. You could gather hundreds of hours from all over the Solar System, play with it in the studio for a few weeks, and produce a cosmic version of Holst's The Planets!

Featuring.... The Planets! :jump2:

No problem. I live for this stuff. Until I get a life, this is what I do. :smirks:

I believe I have heard that one before, shortly after Cassini's arrival at Saturn.

Other-than the Europa insertion, I'm also anticipation the Aero-glider for both Titan and Mars, and the arrival of New Horizons at Pluto, which obviously I follow the program, by way of my avatar.

There certainly is quite the robot armada out there, for sure. I hope I get to see the launch of the first interstellar probe someday.

You already have. (http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/features.cfm?feature=940)

Great post, I remember reading that. This is my field of study, I could talk all day about Planetary and ExtraSolar Science. :jump2:

[The Sym]

Asonokirk... you may appreciate this bit of knowledge as well. It debunks the Sliding Plate Tectonics Theory..... in a sense. Enjoy all the clips. :)
