Here's Pioneer 10 compared to Voyagers 1 and 2 back in 1992:

THERE IS NO SOUND IN SPACE I HAVE BEEN TOLD!!

A little bit of my world has been changed

[dfwgator]

In space no one can hear you scream.

[GeronL]

It sounded like a scream, a little

[Southack]

Radio communications was lost with Pioneer 10 on January 23, 2003, because of the loss of electric power for its radio transmitter, with the probe at a distance of 12 billion kilometers (80 AU) from Earth.

On September 9, 2012, Pioneer 10 was 106.696 AU (1.59615×1010 km; 9.9180×109 mi) from the Earth and 106.676 AU (1.59585×1010 km; 9.9162×109 mi) from the Sun (about 10 billion miles); and traveling at 12.037 km/s (26,930 mph) (relative to the Sun) and traveling outward at about 2.539 AU per year...about 109 AU today.

Thanks for that graphic. And for this thread.

Perhaps it is the speaking of Angels one to another?

That isn't the only 'song' voyager has made (not just another one hit wonder)

I think you will enjoy this.

Symphony of the Planets

Even after reading that I still have trouble digesting that the sound is accurately depicted.

OK. We're receiving radio signals from 20 BILLION miles away, powered by a 35W transmitter. Ya got to expect a little bit of signal loss.

I was referring to playback speed.

Most know what a human voice sounds like @ 10x speed.

If the graph is represented accurately by the software, the playback speed demonstrates 10x to the 7th power.

Of course it would sound like ‘static’...

Thank You! That is beautiful!
