For the first time in history, Cassini obtained strange sounds from Saturn

NASA's 3.26 billion Cassini spacecraft just received the first strange sound in history from Saturn.

This is the first time humans have heard the sound of Saturn. They were collected by the Cassini spacecraft as they made a dangerous journey into the area between the belt and Saturn's atmosphere, which it had never done before.

Cassini constantly explored "unbelievable" things in Saturn before plunging into this "suicide" planet to completely end the mission of 20 years of sixth planet exploration in its solar system and satellites. on September 15, 2017 soon.

Cassini sound is obtained at Saturn's belt.

What makes NASA scientists unable to answer is that Cassini's RPWS sound device captured these sounds when it flew into the perimeter area. But when entering the area of ​​the gap (between the planetary planet and the nearest belt), everything became unusually quiet.

According to Earl Maize, director of the Cassini spacecraft project, at NASA's Jet Engine Laboratory in Pasadena, California, " The region between the belt and Saturn is clearly an" empty "area." .

Until September 15, 2017, Cassini will continue to move at 34,000 meters per second, 45 times more than a flying bullet to explore further the Saturn surface and belt. It will provide the first images of Saturn's atmospheric history and information to help scientists clarify why dust levels are much lower than expected. They also hoped to better understand the sound and stillness that Cassini provided.
