“Some spacecraft have instruments capable of capturing radio emissions. When scientists convert these to sound waves, the results are eerie to hear,” NASA explained.
The playlist features sounds of howling planets, plasma waves and a comet encounter.

Sounds of Jupiter, for example, were captured in 1996 when the Galileo spacecraft made its first flyby of the planet’s largest moon.
Another recording — Sounds of a Comet Encounter — features sounds of rocks and dust particles colliding with the Stardust Aircraft, as comet Tempel 1 flies by on Feb. 14, 2011.

The sounds are spooky, but that’s not all that makes them worthy of a listen. They also offer insight into what the universe sounds like.
The 22-track list also features sounds from Earth’s atmosphere, ultra-cold helium near the North Pole, and the spacecraft Cassini moving through Saturn’s rings.
