Sweet symphony: NASA rover, Perseverance captures sound of Martian winds

Washington: The Mars rover from NASA has sent first-ever audio readings like the mesmerising sound of Martian wind, captured from its SuperCam instrument, back home.
The instrument delivered audio data to the French Space Agency s operations center in Toulouse that includes the first audio of laser zaps on another planet. It is amazing to see SuperCam working so well on Mars. When we first dreamed up this instrument eight years ago, we worried that we were being way too ambitious. Now, it is up there working like a charm, Roger Wiens, principal investigator for Perseverance s SuperCam instrument, said in a statement on Wednesday.
