NASA's InSight records sound waves from Mars

India Today  

NASA's InSight, a new Mars lander, captured the first sounds of the Martian winds on Dec. 1. "Capturing this audio was an unplanned treat," said Bruce Banerdt, InSight principal investigator at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. For now, it's recording vibrational data that scientists later will be able to use to cancel out noise from the lander when SEIS is on the surface, allowing them to detect better actual marsquakes. "The InSight lander acts like a giant ear," said Tom Pike, InSight science team member and sensor designer at Imperial College London.

Nasa rover Perseverance captures first sound of dust devil on Mars

Live Mint  

What's a dust devil sound like on Mars? It sounds strikingly similar to dust devils on Earth, although quieter since Mars’ thin atmosphere makes for more muted sounds and less forceful wind, according to the researchers. The dust devil came and went over Perseverance quickly last year, thus the short length of the audio, said the University of Toulouse’s Naomi …
