European Space Agency Releases Haunting Sound Of Earth’s Magnetic Field
The Earth’s magnetic field may be heard in an eerie, crackling audio clip that the European Space Agency (ESA) has released. We cannot really see the magnetic field, but it is a dynamic and intricate bubble that protects us from cosmic radiation and charged particles carried by strong winds emanating from the Sun.
According to ESA, scientists from the Technical University of Denmark transformed magnetic signals—measured by the space agency’s Swarm satellite mission, which is tasked with studying the magnetic field—to sound. They claim that the outcomes are somewhat alarming.
Five minutes of weird creaks, crackles, and deep breathing can be heard in the audio.
Since the discovery was made public on October 24, the tape has been played three times daily on the Solbjerg Square loudspeakers in Copenhagen, Denmark, according to ESA.
They said that the purpose of this action is to remind people that magnetic fields exist and are necessary for life to exist on Earth, rather than to fear them.
The three Swarm satellites are being used to measure the magnetic signals coming from the Earth’s core, mantle, crust, and oceans in order to better understand how the magnetic field is produced. The ionosphere and magnetosphere are also a part of it.
