GANYMEDE, the moon is near Jupiter is a hot topic on social media. What’s more, NASA has just uploaded an audio recording of the dramatic ride across Ganymede.
Quoted from Solopos.com, the sound recording is said to have an extraordinary comparison between Jupiter, the oceans and Earth’s atmosphere. Before hearing it, listen to NASA’s explanation that flew its plane near the Jovian Moon Ganimede on June 7, 2021 through the Juno mission.
“The soundtrack is wild enough to make you feel as if you’re driving as Juno sails past Ganymede for the first time in more than two decades,” said Juno Principal Investigator from the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio, Scott Bolton. 18/12/2021).
“If you listen closely, you can hear a sudden change to a higher frequency around the midpoint of the recording, indicating the entry of a different region in Ganymede’s magnetosphere,” Bolton added.
The clickable 50 second audio track here lets you play. You can feel the sound and seem to participate in the space flight mission. This vote is generated from data collected last June 7th.

The Juno’s Waves instrument, which is tuned to the electric and radio magnetic waves generated in Jupiter’s magnetosphere, collects data on the emissions. Their frequencies are then shifted into the audio range to create an audio track.

Scientists are still analyzing it in detail and modeling the Waves data. “It’s possible that the change in frequency shortly after closest approach was due to passing from the night side to the daytime side of Ganymede,” said Bolton’s colleague from the University of Iowa, William Kurth.
For information, the footage was obtained from Juno’s closest approach to Ganymede during the 34th voyage of the mission around Jupiter. The spacecraft is within 1,038 kilometers of the lunar surface and traveling at a relative speed of 41,600 mph (67,000 kph).
