The new study found that Venus upper atmosphere undergoes puzzling changes over a solar cycle - that is the Sun s 11-year activity cycle.
NASA has captured haunting sounds coming from the upper atmosphere of Venus during a close flyby of the Parker Solar Probe launched to study the sun.
The natural radio signal is helping scientists study the atmosphere of Earth s less hospitable twin, according to the NASA team responsible for the probe.
The space agency captured the sounds while the Parker probe was making its closest-ever flyby of the planet, travelling at just 517 miles above the surface.
