NASA's Cassini captures eerie audio of interaction between Saturn and Enceladus

This recording was captured by the Radio Plasma Wave Science instrument on 2 September 2017 Late last month, new findings from the Cassini spacecraft suggested that complex organic molecules have been discovered originating from one of Saturn’s moons, Enceladus, adding to its potential to support life. Now, almost as if those complex organic molecules suddenly jumped to life, a video released by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory shows a spooky sound captured by the Cassini spacecraft during its flight around Saturn last year. Here’s what was heard: This recording was captured by the Radio Plasma Wave Science instrument on 2 September 2017, two weeks before Cassini was deliberately plunged into the atmosphere of Saturn, an official statement said. “It is the first-ever detection of complex organics coming from an extraterrestrial water world,” a team led by Frank Postberg and Nozair Khawaja of the University of Heidelberg in Germany said, explaining that they had identified fragments of large organic molecules in ice grains that were ejected from geysers through cracks in the moon’s icy exterior.
