The Amazing Sounds of Outer Space

Hearing the music of the Planets and Stars for the first time

Images of space can conjure up the feeling of a total void and deep silence, but now NASA has discovered that stars and planets emit sounds. Apparently a complex symphony of sounds is constantly filling outer space. It seems science has caught up with ancient wisdom and is now proving what Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras was talking about when he coined the Harmony of the Spheres, the harmonious arrangement of things, moving according to a numerical scheme. Pythagoras believed that since planets and the stars all moved in the universe according to mathematical equations, that these equations could be translated into musical notes and produce a symphony. All sound exists as electromagnetic vibrations and now through specially designed instruments the NASA space probes have made it possible for us to listen to the cosmos. This amazing video captures the music of Saturn, Jupiter, Neptune and Uranus. Let the eerie and beautiful celestial sounds recorded in dark space take you on a cosmic journey.

Gives me chills of excitement, thank you for sharing

Sorry. I'm not proud of that pun, but somebody had to make it. Comedy is not pretty, which can easily be Cassini by those with eyes to see. Especially when most likely nobody reading this will be old enough &/or will admit to being low-browed enough to know that there was once an American television soap opera called "As The World Turns" which had a brief run of 54 years on the CBS network, starting in the first Eisenhower administration. Now, revenons à nos moutons. A touch of sonic comparison, just for Saturnalian lagniappe:
First, listen to the 14-second snippet of ca. 2002 Saturnian transduced radio-emission signal in the following video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUaE9hoW...tml5=False ]:

(Listen to the segment from 04:58 to 05:12.)

 Next, listen to the Earthling chanteuse/guitarist Mme Annie Clark (b. 1982; aka St. Vincent) performing her song "Bring Me Your Loves" ca. 2015  [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpOSbL84Dgo&nohtml5=False]:

(Listen to, e.g., the segment from 00:27 to 00:46. Incidentally, another video dedicated to such Saturnian sounds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sh2-P8hG...tml5=False  works very well as a straight musical-texture proposition when mashed-up twice in a row with Clark's vid. This: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87cUqFA3...tml5=False though it can be mashed-up profitably with almost any sound known to man, probably shouldn't be, as that would be silly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iu7vySQb...tml5=False )

"Saturn" (1959) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiyyW_XM...tml5=False  -- Sun Ra (b. Sonny Blount, 1914-1993)

BOMB magazine: Being “free” today basically means playing super normal. It doesn’t have to be weird, antagonistic, and exclusive. Do you feel completely open, like anything is possible?
MH: I guess so. I feel free to go in any direction I want to. I’m not attached to genre. I’m not attached to jazz by any means. I’m not trying to create something that’s weird, although it does come out weird, sometimes. I just want to make music that I think is interesting. That could be anything.
Bm: I was listening to Ben Young, who is a jazz historian on WKCR [Columbia U., NYC], and he’s been talking a lot about Cecil Taylor for the last few months. Part of me is just waiting for him to say, “Sometimes this is just crazy-ass sounding stuff!”
MH: He’s probably listened to it so much that it doesn’t sound crazy. That’s the thing, after a while, nothing sounds crazy anymore, because you get used to it.
Bm: It’s important, I think, to use all this diversity and awareness that’s available, but not make it sound like you’re sampling or dabbling in it, as opposed to absorbing it.
MH: Exactly. That’s the problem with the attention-deficit age, the age of the iPod shuffle. It’s information overload.
Bm: In theory it’s supposed to make everyone more aware. Smarter.
MH: Nobody has the attention span.
.....
MH: I have a friend who’s a shrink who always jokes with me. He says, “You look normal but you’re not.” (laughter)
Saturn Sings (2015) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhC8_Hyx...tml5=False -- Mary Halvorson (b. 1980)

"Identification of extraterrestrial vehicles, apparently possessing ancient historical presence in the solar system, is a new discovery having many ramifications. Attention, however, is focused on presenting factual information  which can be gleaned from the pictures. Cameras, being well-established scientific  instruments, provide direct data of the 'Seeing-Is-Believing' variety. Despite their  straight-forward characteristic, actual photographs probably will not establish conviction for everyone. For example, personal beliefs may deleteriously impair the communication process."

As some of the up-country English might say in their tribal lingo: It don't make you half-think...
In Darkest England (1987) https://idriesshahfoundation.org/books/darkest-england/  -- Idries Shah (pen name in West; b. Sayed Idries el-Hashimi, 1924-1996)  
     "Sufis believe that, expressed in one way, humanity is evolving towards a certain destiny. We are all taking part in that evolution. Organs come into being as a result of the need for specific organs (Rumi). The human being's organism is producing a new complex of organs in response to such a need. In this age of transcending of time and space, the complex of organs is concerned with the transcending of time and space. What ordinary people regard as sporadic and occasional outbursts of telepathic or prophetic power are seen by the Sufi as nothing less than the first stirrings of these same organs. The difference between all evolution up to date and the present need for evolution is that for the past ten thousand years or so we have been given the possibility of a conscious evolution. So essential is this more rarefied evolution that our future depends upon it." 
      “It is possible to have great affection and regard for individuals and groups of people without in any way reducing one's awareness of their currently poor capacity for understanding and preserving their heritage. The present state of ignorance about distant and former cultures is not unique to this time. Unfortunately, though, the people of our time are not employing their superior resources to retrieve and develop the remnants of wider knowledge possessed elsewhere and also at other times. This is because, while the tools and the general freedom are there for the first time, desire, resolution and breadth of vision are absent, also for the first time. The endowment is therefore at risk. For the first time.”

Not quite the same, but, here is my version of whats going on in near earth orbit and in space.

"Space is the place."
"Saturn" (1959) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiyyW_XM...tml5=False  -- Sun Ra (b. Sonny Blount, 1914-1993)

I'm really surprised so few folks here have heard of Sun Ra. Besides being one of the single most innovative jazz musicians ever, the dude was a Wanderer who didn't even bother trying to hide it. His entire mission on Earth was trying to bring cosmic vibes and expand terrestrial perspectives, and he devoted his life to it while making some of the most mind-melting jazz ever composed.

There's a good documentary about him called A Joyful Noise, which is definitely worth a watch.
