APOD: 2020 January 21 - Parker: Sounds of the Solar Wind

Good late afternoon Maj William W. 'Bill' Price and I must say an interesting APOD of sounds of the Solar Wind! I decided to check it out to see if there was more to this and came up with an interesting short video, which I will add as an adjunct to the Parker Solar Probe.... Please note that the sounds you will hear are different as recorded by the JHU Applied Physics Laboratory, but from the same source - The Solar Wind!!! Keep your sound low to medium or you might blow your eardrums LOL! https://youtu.be/aOA_wAoh5go

Thank you, my friend Maj William W. 'Bill' Price for posting the NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) for Tuesday, January 21, 2020 entitled "Parker: Sounds of the Solar Wind."
Sound recording: Parker - Sounds of the Solar Wind - Video Credit - NASA, JHUAPL, Naval Research Lab, Parker Solar Probe; Processing - Avi Solomon
"Explanation: What does the solar wind sound like? A wind of fast moving particles blows out from our Sun, and although space transmits sound poorly, particle impact and variable-field data from NASA's near-Sun Parker Solar Probe is being translated into sound. The disarming audio track of the featured video recounts several of these reverberations, including spooky-sounding Langmuir Waves (heard first), hurricane-sounding Whistler Mode Waves (heard next), and hard-to-describe Dispersive Chirping Waves (heard last). Also impressive is the video's time-lapse visual track which shows Parker's view to the side of its sun shield, and where the planets Earth, Jupiter, Mercury and Venus appear in succession, interspersed with bursts of powerful cosmic rays impacting the imager. The nature of the solar wind near Mercury is surprisingly different from near the Earth, and much study is underway to better understand the differences."

"NASA’s Parker Solar Probe captured data of solar wind, the fast moving particles blowing from the sun, which was translated into these eerie sounds."

That sound is creepy, I have to say.
