Re: The Sound of a Comet...
The sound is like boiling or sublimation, kind of like an Easy Bake Oven:

I think its related to the music of the spheres, or (shameless self-promotion) The Earth's Hum.

…string theory says that all subatomic particles of the universe are nothing but musical notes. A, B-flat, C-sharp, correspond to electrons, neutrinos, quarks, and what have you. Therefore, physics is nothing but the laws of harmony of these strings. Chemistry is nothing but the melodies we can play on these strings. The universe is a symphony of strings and the mind of God… it is cosmic music resonating through 11 dimensional hyperspace.

Re: The Sound of a Comet...
Dry ice is just frozen carbon dioxide, which is most likely what's boiling out of that comet. There may be a correlation between those sounds.cuttime wrote:The sound is like boiling or sublimation, kind of like an Easy Bake Oven:

However, re-reading the articles about it, I find that it is the magnetic field that's oscillating. Nobody knows why. Some speculate that it might indeed be related to molecules of CO2 leaving the comet. That's one of the mysteries we can look forward to being solved once everyone has their hands on the data. So hurry up, ESA, and let's get that data passed around!

And it may just be flatulence on a cosmic scale. A message from the Melbrookian & Lepetomeinian peoples?

Lepetomeinian? I haven't heard that in about a hundred years! Talk about a pro! I suspect he knew something about cometary offgassing.

Re: The Sound of a Comet...
ESA? Look what we've degenerated to while waiting for your next photo. How about releasing them in packs of 10? Preferably more of the comet, less of the ESA people at their monitoring stations, hugging, and talking to the press.

Re: The Sound of a Comet...
If it's a government agency, copyright does not apply. If it is not, then the original sound recording can be copyrighted like anything else we record in the field.How can anyone copyright the sound of a comet?
I think this is pretty cool.

Re: The Sound of a Comet...
Oh it's PD. I'd mess with it if I didn't have paid gigs to mess with or if I was more scientifically inclined. I'm definitely a dilettante when it comes to science. I don't even have a bachelors degree- in science (or anything else). But i stay at a.... Oh, never mind!

Re: The Sound of a Comet...
ps - all i did was playback at different octaves. The sound design work only used the smooth windy sound at :22 and that I did alter quite a bit. Fits so well into the existing cue and I get brownie points from the director for using real live comet sounds in the real live theatre. Can't wIt to hit that sound with IRCAM.

Re: The Sound of a Comet...
This article (http://www.theguardian.com/science/2014 ... ies-emerge) explains why they aren't releasing photos.Shooshie wrote:ESA? Look what we've degenerated to while waiting for your next photo.

Apparently, the comet is not a comet, but something more sinister...

Re: The Sound of a Comet...
To add depression to the mix, they've determined that the lander did indeed land on the comet... 3 times. It bounced a kilometer back away from it, and landed again, bounced, and finally landed under a cliff, dangling on its side. This underscores a few massive fails:
- • the harpoons did not fire to secure it to the surface
• the solar panels are shielded from the sun
• the battery is going to die by Saturday
• being on its side, unharpooned to the surface, it can't do many of its science experiments.
- • THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE IT IS!
