about

(November 14, 2014) Written by Kadin Contois & Will Thornton.

from Astronomical Units, released November 18, 2014
The clicking/windy sound that you hear during the first and last minute and a half of this song is the mysterious sound emitting from the Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko when the Philae/Rosetta orbiter landed on its surface on November 12, 2014. The comet seemed to be emitting a ‘song’ in the form of oscillations in the magnetic field in the comet’s environment. It is being sung at 40-50 millihertz, far below human hearing, which typically picks up sound between 20 Hz and 20 kHz. To make the music audible to the human ear, the frequencies have been increased by a factor of about 10,000.
