einahpetsSince I'm a space nerd and a classical music lover let's have a post comparing Holst's Jupiter and Saturn to the actual radio waves emitted by Jupiter and Saturn.
Holst's The Planets Jupiter, Bringer of Jollity
Actual radio waves emitted by the planet Jupiter
Holst's The Planets Saturn, the Bringer of Old Age
Actual radio waves emitted by the planet Saturn
CREEPY!

Date: 2011-11-19 04:42 pm (UTC)I have never really sought out the sound clips until last night when I revisited a high school astronomy powerpoint on the moon and was giving a mock presentation to my sister. Somehow we got onto pulsars - which are dieing stars spinning incredibly fast and spewing out radiation. I told her the radio waves can be changed into sound (I learned that from a universe show. Apparently there are musicians who create songs from the sound. I think the genre is 'space music'?) and I pulled up one of the sound clips on youtube. Pulsars sound like the heartbeat of space. It's eerie and awesome at the same time.
Of course that's when I stumbled onto the planets which are much more fun to compare with the more romantic sounds created by composers.
Anyway, I'm glad you liked my nerd post!

I love astronomy and some of the physics that go into the universe!
