Nasa's Juno probe releases spooky noises from Jupiter's auroras

Daily Mail  

Eerie recordings captured by the Juno probe during its recent flyby Jupiter have been revealed. Radio emissions from Jupiter's intense auroras were snagged when the Juno spacecraft made its first orbital pass of the gas giant on August 27. Radio emissions from Jupiter's auroras were captured during the flyby The emissions were first discovered in the 1950s but had never been analysed from such a close vantage point before. THE AURORAS OF JUPITER This infrared image gives an unprecedented view of the southern aurora of Jupiter, as captured by NASA's Juno spacecraft on August 27, 2016. Juno's Jovian Infrared Auroral Mapper camera acquired the view at wavelengths ranging from 3.3 to 3.6 microns -- the wavelengths of light emitted by excited hydrogen ions in the polar regions.
