Screams screamsscreams screams probably be like an alien or some to me it sounds like an old 50s or 60s sciencefiction movie. Actually this creepy chorus comes from the planet jupiter. Oh laughs laughs thats weird it does not sound like it. The sounds were picked up by radio antenas that were made right here at the university of iowa but are now traveling on the juno probe. Probe. Its actually energetic particles from the sun they run into the planets Magnetic Field jupiters Magnetic Field and theyre actually focused along the field lines magnetic along the field lines they produce a radio signal. These particals create Jupiters Arora like the earths own Northern Lights but the sounds are so high we normally wouldnt even be able to hear i. It. We take that frequency those measurements and we down convert them and basically change the frequency from hundreds of kilohertz down to a few kilohertz because thats the frequency we actually hear. But why are we even liste . Listening . By understanding how the systems work or how things work on jupiter and tells us a lot more to understand how things work here. Amounts of these same solar particals hit the earth they can have scary consequences. What happens then is the earths Magnetic Field will bounce around a lot and that can actually cause Power Outages because it can cause spikes in the powerlines i can mess up the gps wont work very well. It can also cause a catastrophy above. Above. And also can damage spacecraft orbiting the earth because the earths radiation belts can get more intense so the more we learn from probes like juno the more prepared the earth can be for solar if i got to build one that be pretty cool to see my work up in space.
