Martian Winds and Other Sounds

[SeaBreeze]

If you hear one new thing today, how about making it the sound of wind on Mars?

Two microphones aboard the Perseverance Rover have "recorded nearly five hours of Martian wind gusts, rover wheels crunching over gravel and motors whirring as the spacecraft moves its arm," NASA says.

NASA has launched an interactive resource that allows listeners to hear recordings taken millions of miles away on the surface of the Red Planet.

@SeaBreeze - how very interesting; thanks for sharing...

imagine how different it might if we could hear it through a dog's ears...? I envy that they can hear so much better than we can...

Too cool! My daughter, like Buzz Aldrin is a big Mars fan. She will love this.

That was Really Special! Now I wish we could/would send a team of humans to Mars.

Don't think that will happen as soon as they once thought. I'm a NASA fan & read & watch all I can about all the different rockets going up into space.

One article I read is the Mars Rovers are sending back a lot more info that it won't be possible to sustain life on Mars right now. So they are now looking at colonizing the Moon first.

I'm also a space fan. Puts everything in perspective:

Thanks @SeaBreeze this is interesting. With my hearing I could not get much, but just thinking that I was listening to Martian wind was impressive.

Just listened Seabreeze, thanks! It is of course very exciting and a little scary at the same time to think we are so close to realising space dreams!
