Listen to Rosetta's comet 'sing': Scientists baffled by mysterious sounds recorded near 67P ...

Something strange is happening on comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko 67P as space engineers prepare for a historic landing: the icy space rock is 'singing'.

The mysterious sound has baffled scientists, who recorded it using a Rosetta instrument originally designed to analyse the comet's magnetic field.

Instead, this instrument picked up a strange bubbling sound which scientists believe was created by a stream of electrically-charged particles.

'This is exciting because it is completely new to us,' said Karl-Heinz Glaßmeier, principal investigator with Rosetta's Plasma Consortium.

'We did not expect this and we are still working to understand the physics of what is happening.'

Seriously, you all do know this is supposed to be on TV tomorrow night 10pm on the Science Channel.

I’m hoping it’s a very successful mission.

I have it set to record; but really this is so amazing. Just think, they are timing this to almost the very second Rosetta will land. It’s truly stunning.

How can there be a sound in outer space? Sound is the movement of air.

And now that we can land a spacecraft on a comet....

We've done several fly-bys and we've even hit one with a 640 pound chunk of Washing Machine sized copper which all caused untold bafflement in the orthodox cosmology and astronomical communities, but not in the Electric Universe cosmologists or Astronomers who actually made predictions on what would be found, all of which were found to be absolutely factual. The one thing they have NEVER found was water in any appreciable quantities in wet liquid, solid, ice forms at all. None, nada, zip. The comets we've visited have all been essentially the color of black pavement. . . if not blacker. And are indistinguishable from every other asteroid (or planetoid) we've encountered. They are rocks. Not ice, dirty snowballs, or anything of the kind.

Yet, this article I posted above still referred to comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko 67P as "the 4km long chunk of ice." You'd think that sooner-or-later they'd start to get a clue after visiting half a dozen or so comets and finding they are NOT a "chunk of ice."

The test of any theory is how well does it predict future findings . . . and the orthodox theory is failing miserably while the EU theory is taking the field by storm in the prediction area. . . but the orthodoxy simply is standing their like the three chimpanzees:

Talk about being wedded to a failed theory.

Recording Schedule from TWC in San Diego:

I just checked my recording schedule and it’s going to be on at 6pm PST and again at 9pm PST. This is what TWC is showing.

How can sounds of "Amos 'n' Andy" be on a broadcast wave front in a pretty much globular shape approximately about 86 light years in diameter with the Earth at its center? Same way. . . it's on an electromagnetic wave.

I hope they succeed, as well, but I think they might not. Their plans are to anchor the lander into what they anticipate to be a soft ice surface. . . they may again be in for a surprise, astonishment, and shock when the surface turns out to be hard rock, impenetrable by the harpoon anchors. They might just bounce off.

What is the sound of one hand clapping? Nothing.

Wipeout!

No, seriously this is really cool. Some of the comments I totally agree with, ‘flight of the bumblebee’, ‘forbidden planet’, yeah!

I feel like a one-eyed cat peeping in a seafood store for not remembering that!

Who knows, in the circumstances it might even prove to be a song of welcome.

Or the hum of a cosmic hornet nest!
