INTERESTING FACT

Facts About Jupiter

Named after the Roman God known as Zeus in Germany, the planet Jupiter technically has no surface as it is entirely made out of gas. Jupiter can be seen without a telescope because of its huge size. The gravitational pull of the planet is so high that anything and everything that passes the planets gets pulled towards it. Jupiter has 63 moons and one of them is volcanically active and it is the only moon in the entire solar system to be in such a state. The fastest spinning planet of all, Jupiter has clouds that are up to 50 km thick and the average day on Jupiter lasts around 10 hours. After Venus, Jupiter is the second brightest planet in the Solar System (Venus reflects 70% of sunlight). Mars outshines Jupiter only when approached very close to the Earth. Interesting Fact is that Jupiter emits weird sounds or so called "electromagnetic voices" recorded by NASA-Voyager. To hear Jupiter speak listen to the video below.

Wow...it's eerie, but amazing. The sound itself is almost haunting. And the information is rather interesting. Jupiter speaks...just wow. Amazing site you have here.

Don't have enough money to buy a building? You not have to worry, because it is real to receive the loans to solve all the problems. Thence get a financial loan to buy all you require.

Wouldn't it be funny if the noise you heard was actually the electromagnetic resonance of the computer systems on board Voyager. Of course they specially designed the spacecraft to detect them so I doubt it. Those NASA engineers are amazing people. To bad Obama cut NASA's budget. Pretty dumb move on his part. Or should i say one of his dumb moves.

They arn't actually recording sound waves. They recorded electromagnetic radiation (probably radio waves). That is probably what it would sound like if you got close enough to jupiter with your radio and had it tuned to the right station.

I have a question. How the sound can be recorded, when the sound waves are transfered trough the vibrating air? And we all know that, there is no air in space. The sound is really a vibrations in air with different frequency. It's interesting :)

since my childhood I was fascinated by how big the universe is, how great are the planets and the unlimited amount of stars and planets and even galaxies that can hold the universe is amazing shapes and colors that nature, or God can give them, but to find this article and to hear the sound emitted by the planet Jupiter just leaves me speechless because I did not think the planet could make a sound, now I understand that there is much to learn and investigate.

Yes you could be correct. It should be "in the entire solar system". Fact has been corrected. Thank You!
