Terrifying "Sounds" of the Sun
Our Sun regularly emits powerful streams of high-energy electrons. When these electrons collide with other charged particles, they release radio emissions.
These emissions are captured by the RPW (Radio and Plasma Waves) instrument onboard the Solar Orbiter spacecraft. In this video, data from the RPW instrument has been converted into audible sounds, allowing us to experience the Sun's eerie "voice."
