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
Saturn has an atmosphere like any other planet. If the sound track of that video isn’t actually the noise of the rings, NASA is guilty of misleading their viewers. I think since Saturn is a gas giant, it probably has a proportionally higher altitude atmospheric limit than terrestrial ones.
But we can agree to disagree. I do plan to research further and find the entire story of Saturn and her ambiance.
Blessings on your weekend
Oooops! My bad. The audio on the Cassini video is RADIO emissions.
Gotta’ give you that one. Still going to keep searching for audible noise on Saturn because of what I read on a NASA site years ago.
I can’t find what I was looking for so I’ll concede the point for the time being. Although the only references I could find re “sound” was radio emissions.
However, 2 things keep me looking. 1. One of the articles stated that the rings are composed of 98% ice particles ranging in size from sand to a mountain. That cannot help but make NOISE as these objects rattle and bang and scrape against one another.
2. The other is the statement that although the outer edge of the rings extends thousands of kilometers out into space, the inner edge is only a few meters from the discernable “surface” of the gas giant.
Therefore I maintain that if one could physically position himself anywhere near the planet, above or below the plane of the rings, they’d better be wearing shooters’ ear protection, because those rings are making a heck of a racket!
It has been a pleasure, Sir.
