Does anyone listen to FM radio anymore? NASA does and it’s a good thing they do – otherwise, we might have missed an FM signal coming from Ganymede, one of the larger moons of Jupiter. What do the residents of Ganymede listen to? Rock? Rap? Techno-pop? Space-age bachelor pad music? Ganymedean folk music?
“Since its first orbit in 2016, Juno has delivered one revelation after another about the inner workings of this massive gas giant. With the extended mission, we will answer fundamental questions that arose during Juno’s prime mission while reaching beyond the planet to explore Jupiter’s ring system and largest satellites.”

There are FM radio signals coming from one of Jupiter’s moon. As we generally relate FM to radio, which in turn we connect with communication, chances are some people might see it as a proof of alien life. Are they trying to contact us through radio waves? Are they friendly? Are they dangerous?

An FM radio signal has been picked up coming from one of Jupiter s moons, but - as usual - scientists are playing down the likelihood it s aliens.
The five-second radio burst was detected last year when NASA s Juno probe crossed a polar region of the giant planet where the magnetic field lines are connected to Ganymede said Andrew Yau, editor of
Geophysical Research Letters, the journal which published the findings.
Ganymede is bigger than Mercury and Pluto, and almost the size of Mars - but as it orbits Jupiter, it s considered a moon, not a planet.
