AUDIO OF THE WEEK: THE SOUND OF TITAN
by Hazed
Here’s something a bit different: some audio from another planet. It’s the sound recorded by the Huygens probe as it entered Titan’s atmosphere and descended to the surface of the planet.
The audio clip also includes the radar signal that the probe used to map its descent.
Listen to the sound of Titan here. It’s fascinating!
As a bonus link, you can listen to a radio program which has a fascinating discussion between one of the people involved in the Cassini-Huygens mission and one of those from the Rosetta mission. It’s part of a program that mixes science with comedy, called The Infinite Monkey Cage. The broadcast version is available on the BBC iPlayer here, and the podcast (which is twice as long) here. It’s informative and amusing.
