Solar Storm

What does it sound like when the sun is having a bad day? Astronomers have turned the aurora borealis the phenomenon that occurs when solar winds hit Earth’s magnetosphere into a song. Listen to the surprisingly creepy sci-fi soundtrack, recorded during a sol…

The Earth has inspired many a famous tune from Michael Jackson's 'Earth Song' to Björk's 'Earth Intruders' but now the blue planet has a song of its very own. Astronomers have recorded for the first time the eerie warbling 'song' sung by the Earth's magnetic…

The eerie "song" created when a solar storm hits Earth's magnetic field has been recorded by scientists. By analyzing data from the European Space Agency's Cluster spacecraft, researchers discovered how solar storms "profoundly modify" the region of space jus…

In space, no one can hear you scream because sound can't travel in a vacuum. But if we convert electromagnetic activity to sound, it suddenly becomes a very noisy place. And our Earth is no exception; specifically, in and around the magnetic field generated b…

Data from ESA's Cluster mission has provided a recording of the eerie 'song' that Earth sings when it is hit by a solar storm. The new findings were published today in the AGU journal Geophysical Research Letters. The song comes from waves that are generated…

Eerie Song A team of scientists from the University of Helsinki used data collected by the European Space Agencys Cluster mission an investigation into the Earths magnetic field using a constellation of four spacecraft to map out the eerie song that the Eart…

Science & Exploration Data from ESAs Cluster mission has provided a recording of the eerie song that Earth sings when it is hit by a solar storm. The song comes from waves that are generated in the Earths magnetic field by the collision of the storm. Th…

The song comes from waves that are generated in the Earth's magnetic field by the collision of the storm. The storm itself is the eruption of electrically charged particles from the Sun's atmosphere. A team led by Lucile Turc, a former ESA research fellow wh…
