Hello and welcome back to the Most Amazing Channel on the Internet!
I am your host Rebecca Felgate and I love space!
So much so that this video doesn’t even scare me, I just think it is super cool.
Okay, it does actually scare me a tiny bit, but you know….
It is still awesome – get a load of the top 10 sounds from outer space that should
have stayed secret!
Before we get
into this video – like share etc The Vacuum of space is deathly quiet, or at
least, it should be.
Regularly very strange sounds have been recorded in outer space that are so unsettling, we
wish we had never heard them.
10 - Saturn’s Screaming Poles Woah, these sound well and truly spine chilling.
These sounds rival anything a space horror composer could score…and these are natural
sounds from Saturn’s Poles.
These were recorded by Nasa’s Cassini Space Craft in 2002 and they are radiowaves that
come from Saturn’s Aurora – so a very similar light phenomenon as our Aurora Borealis
on earth, aka the northern lights.
So imagine the swirling green, pink and yellow lights accompanying these sounds, which have
been sped up, with a slight frequency adjust so our human ears can hear it.
The sounds come from one of my favourite Youtube channels – Space Audio – and were uploaded
in March 2015.
Cassini completed it space mission in 2017, losing contact as it made a suicide dive into
the planet’s atmosphere on September 15th.
9 - Earths Hiss Wait, this earth hissed as space craft flew
by?
Yes.
The recording sounds like a huge breathing dragon – have a listen.
How is that anything other than the rise and fall of breath?!
It is kind of Darth Vader-ish?
Apparently this is sound recorded in 1996 on Nasa’s Polar Mission is the sound of
hot ironized particles generated by sunlight crashing into the atmosphere.
It creates a sound like the earth hissing at us, and to be honest, what with climate
change and the rise in greenhouse gasses, I can understand why earth may be pissed enough
to hiss at us.
This isn’t the first hiss heard from planet earth by the patient ears of Nasa, in 2015
a Nasa Student balloon experiment using Infrared Microphones picked up the unsettling sounds
from 22 miles above the earths surface in New Mexico and Arizona.
8 - Music from the Dark Side of the Moon And it was nothing compared to pink Floyd.
A medium pitched wooing isn’t everyone’s kind of music but each to their own!
The Astronaughts on the Apollo 10 mission passed around the moon, and when they were
at the farthest side away from earth, the dark side, they lost all radio contact with
ground control and the rest of the earthlings.
As Apollo careered around the moon, they heard some really weird sounds…
like….
Really weird sounds.
So weird that the Astronauts talked about it constantly . The weird sounds were not
reported at the time, but they were recorded and received by Nasa when the mission returned
to earth.
The recordings were classified – which means that they were being safeguarded from human
ears.
Why….
We aren’t sure.
In 2008 the newly declassified recordings were found, and we can hear the weird woo
noises and the astronauts reactions.
Nasa hasn’t returned to the moon since
7 - Mysterious Radio Signals from Deep Space For the last decade, Scientists have been
picking up unexplained Radio Signals they call Fast Radio Bursts from deep Space.
In fact, on the day I scripted this video – August 7th 2018, more signals were reported.
The signals have ranged in frequency, but the most recent are 580 Megahurtz, 200 lower
than previously heard.
The lastest sounds detected come from very very far away, possibly billions of light
years.
The radio signals you are about to hear are not the most recent, but they are pretty unsettling…especially
when the thudding kicks in….
just listen…
Okay, and then some more….
It sounds like the plucking of a string, maybe?
Currently, scientists don’t know where exactly the sounds are coming from, but they’re
trying to pinpoint them.
6 - Jupiter’s Crying Lightning.
The official term for Jupiter’s dissonant space whirs is “Jovian Whistles” – these
are descending and ascending sounds created by lightning strikes in the atmosphere.
As you may know, Jupiter is a decidedly stormy planet, with its red eye being a giant storm
that has raged non-stop for over 350 years.
Jupiter.
You stormy babe.
But…
I mean… let’s have a listen to these terrifying shrieks – There is kind of like a ….shhheeewoooowaam
sound…
like something is being launched.
The sound was recorded by Jupiter’s voyager in the 70s, so around 40 years ago.
The planet is likely still screaming in its stormy areas, and has been for hundreds of
years.
Can you imagine?
5 - Ganymede’s Ghoulish Shrieks Honestly, I feel like Jupiter’s Moon, Ganymede,
is trying hard to tell us something here.
One of Jupiter’s 16 Moons, Ganymede is officially the biggest moon in our solar system, with
a radius of 2 thousand 634 kilometres – making her bigger than both Mercury and pluto, and
two thirds the size of mars.
GHey there big moon.
This big moon has its own Magnetosphere which creates some big noises, and they’re pretty
unsettling.
The sounds were recorded in 1996 by the Galileo Space Craft – the initial approach into
the Magnetosphere is punctuated by a strong burst of noise…and then some strange computer
sounding beeps.
Then, through the beeps come windy sounding whirs.
The whole thing crescendos with beeps interspersed by what sounds like alien cries.
Terrrrrrifying
4 - Scream of a Dying Star So it turns out that stars have feelings too,
and why shouldn’t they – they are much bigger than us….we are a teeny weeny blip
– an atom…smaller…when compared to a star.
In 2012, Scientists at Nasa’s Goddard Space Flight Centre released an artists impression
of a black hole swallowing a screaming star.
The real life star was spotted falling into a huge black hole 3.9 billion light years
away in the constellation of Draco.
It seems as the star gets sucked in, it releases blips of light every 200 seconds, which Nasa
think are like screams.
As the star is so far away, we haven’t got an actual recording of the sound the star
made…
Scientists say that the frequency of the light, if concerted to sound, would be like a very
low D sharp.
Nasa buffs can predict what this sounds like based on the oscillations that have been observed
by smaller matter falling into smaller black holes in our galaxy, the milky way.
3 - Creepy Singing Comet In 2014, Scientists recorded a strange whirring,
almost alien song like sounding noise.
The clicking, vibrating sounding noise gets higher in frequency and sound very much like
I would imagine an alien trying to communicate sounds.
The Rosetta Orbiter picked up the sounds from the 67p C-G comet in August 2014.
Have a little listen…..
I don’t know what is going on, but neither does head researcher Karl-Heinz Glaßmeier,
who’s team was baffled by the noise.
The European space agency think the sounds must be coming as a result of a process of
oscillation in 67p C-G’s orbit.
Ah, I am still so confused as to why Scientists always give space objects such sterile names!
Anyway, what do you make to these sounds and the singing comet?
2 - The heart beat of a black hole…
Errr… so…that’s a thing, apparently.
I thought blackholes were where things went to die, but turns out they may have a lil
soul going on in there.
While we cant directly see or hear what black holes are like, we can see and hear what they
do to their environment.
In 2008 – an MIT professor, Edward Morgan, translated X ray data from the star system
GRS 1915-105 and turned it into sound.
The binary star system is a black hole and a star that feeds it and this is what it sounds
like…
So…..err…like a heart beat.
The beating of a deep dark, all consuming black heart.
How romantic, in a seriously twisted way!
I am pretty sure listening to this will send you mad…..
like….
Bonkers never be the same again – mad.
I was listening to this with earphones when researching this video and I had to take them
off as the sound drilled into my brain.
We have Echos from Titan at number 1 Titan is one of Saturn’s moons – the sounds
you are about to hear were recorded by Huygens, an atmospheric entry probe sent by the European
Space Agency into a suicide landing onto the alien moon.
The sounds are FAR OUT.
It starts with a beating and some inter-stabbing robotic sounds – listen….
Then….well….whatever THIS IS – buzzing….brain numbing buzzing, reaching a crescendo where
you think your brain will explode.
You may want to couple this with the images taken by Titan, too… together they are quite
the intergalactic horror coupling.
So that was the Top 10 Sounds from Outer Space that should have stayed secret – what did
you think?
Comments from top 10 scary warnings from the future – I asked you where you would time

I miss her.?
– aww….
That reminds me that some of us are lucky enough to be able to have the option to do
that right now and we should.
