The scaling up of the sound signals means that what we are hearing is actually 144 quadrillion and 288 quadrillion times higher than the signals' original frequencies.įor scale, a quadrillion (a million billion) is 1,000,000,000,000,000 - that's 15 zeros.

These sounds allow scientists and engineers to experience the Red Planet in new ways and everyone is invited to listen in.

They have dubbed these unexpected sounds the "reverse harp" and will study the intriguing perturbations in more depth in the future.

NASA's app brings together NASA TV, 4K video, podcasts, augmented reality (AR) and much more using a simple user interface that’s easy to navigate and makes it easy to share content. The team has already made a surprising discovery from their preliminary sound bites, which contain patterns that go against what they previously predicted. We can innately do some pretty crazy analysis that outperforms even some of our most advanced computer algorithms." "We're essentially trained from birth to recognize patterns and pick out different sound sources. "The human sense of hearing is an amazing tool," Martin Archer, a magnetosphere expert at Imperial College London and HARP team member, said in the statement. Turning the data into sound helps to make it easier for people to spot irregularities in patterns, researchers wrote.

The aim of the HARP project is to enable citizen scientists to listen to the sound clips and highlight unusual patterns for researchers to investigate more closely. Earth's magnetic field is generated by its superheated metallic core. JNASA News Conference NASA Administrator Bill Nelson and other agency leaders held a press conference at the agency’s Washington, D.C., headquarters.
