Scientists detect chirping cosmic waves in an unexpected part of space

Deccan Chronicle  

New York: Scientists have detected cosmic waves that sound like birds chirping in an unexpected place. Researchers have captured such sounds in space before, but now they have sensed the chirping waves from much farther away: over 62,000 miles from Earth, where they've never been measured before. “They are one of the strongest and most significant waves in space,” said study author Chengming Liu from Beihang University in an email. The newfound chorus waves were detected in a region where Earth's magnetic field is stretched out, which scientists didn't expect.
