Scientists found electromagnetic waves they converted into chirping noises from much further in space than previously thought possible. Credits: Public Domain, via Wikimedia Commons. Scientists found ...

Researchers have captured such sounds in space before, but now they have sensed the chirping waves from much farther away: over 62,000 miles from Earth, where they've never been measured before.

Chorus waves have hitherto been observed only in the near-Earth region. The so-called "chirping" waves, some of the strongest natural electromagnetic emissions in space, have been associated with ...

How did NASA detect these sounds? From 62,000 miles away, the astounding noises exploded through the Earth's atmosphere. NASA researchers searched for the source in uncharted intergalactic regions, ...

Scientists have detected cosmic waves that sound like birds chirping in an unexpected place. These bursts of plasma, called chorus waves, ripple at the same frequency as human hearing. When ...

(NASA via AP) NEW YORK (AP) — Scientists have detected cosmic waves that sound like birds chirping in an unexpected place. These bursts of plasma, called chorus waves, ripple at the same frequency as ...

Researchers have captured such sounds in space before, but now they have sensed the chirping waves from much farther away: over 62,000 miles (100,000 kilometers) from Earth, where they’ve never ...

Chorus waves last only a few tenths of a second and have a characteristic rising frequency 2, which gives them their chirping sound. Each burst is slightly different, but the signals often repeat ...

Scientists have detected strange chirping waves — which resemble the dawn chorus of birds — thousands of miles from Earth, and they could pose big problems for future spaceflight. Chorus waves ...
