Thank you. Where does the roaring, crackling sound that accompanied the video come from? Is it possibly the actual sound that’s generated by the rings as they whirl and swirl around the planet? I once read in a NASA display of planets that it’s very noisy around Saturn. That the objects of all sizes of material which make up the rings; some as large as large buildings, ceaselessly banging and scraping into each other as they circle the planet, make a horrendous amount of noise. (To borrow a phrase: “Inquiring minds want to know”).

There would be no sound transmission in space.

Very strange to hear noise in a vacuum, right.

um... there is no sound in space because their is no medium for the sound waves to travel in. The sound track should not be on this video at all it is just random noise
