The United States Space Agency (NASA) has jumped on the bandwagon of this dizzying and sinister 2020 and has published, on the occasion of the Day of the Dead, Halloween and All Saints' Day, a playlist with the most "sinister" sounds and "terrifying" of the universe, literally.
It is available on SoundCloud, the largest free music platform on planet Earth.
NASA Sinister Sounds of the Solar System
Sounds could well be part of the soundtrack of any science fiction or horror movie from the 70s to the present day.
They have been obtained from sound captures that have been hunted by NASA's ships distributed throughout the cosmos.
In this article, our colleagues from Materia Ciencia explained why space is so quiet, which does not mean that some sounds can be transmitted under suitable conditions.
Among the recordings stands out, for example, a symphony baptized as
Sounds of the Ancient Universe
, which are signals with more than 13,800 million years old, when our universe was empty, it had neither stars nor planets, and it was only a plasma ball hot, a mixture of electrons, protons and light.
In the repertoire you can also find
Earthquakes
, a piece resulting from measurements recorded by the Mars InSight lander during what is known as a Marsmoto (a natural phenomenon known on earth as an earthquake).
This seismic signal, very weak according to NASA itself, was captured by a seismic experimentation instrument.
The playlist has been described by NASA as a compendium "full of new 'hisses' and 'moans'" that could come to scare the "scariest creatures in the universe."
This cosmic concert has a total of 14 tracks where titles like
Swirling Auroras of Jupiter land
, on some signals of plasma waves from the ionosphere of that planet;
o
Melodies of the Galactic Center
, which reproduces sounds from the supermassive black hole of four million solar masses at the center of the Galaxy.
If this Day of the Dead there are doubts about what musical thread to use to entertain the arrival of the deceased, it will not be because the stars have not wanted.
