A new @NASASun project has turned the unheard vibrations of Earth’s magnetic shield into audible tracks, revealing a haunting melody of wooshes and whistles. Now volunteers can listen in and help scientists understand these cosmic vibrations. eos.org/articles/eavesdroppi…

We’re pleased to share a first taste of #ESAJuice science data! 🤩 The magnetometer boom (J-MAG) recorded the change in magnetic field as it deployed. J-MAG will help characterise Jupiter & Ganymede's magnetic fields, and the moons' oceans. 📈esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Image…

A insanely cool citizen science project to start your morning off with... @imperialcollege researchers have teamed up with @NASA to listen to sounds from outer space! 🌌 Find out how you can help scientists understand space sounds ▶️ bit.ly/3UMQvoI

Lend me your ears 👂🎧! Get involved with the @NASA funded citizen science project I'm part of on the sounds of space weather ☀🛰🌍 nasa.gov/feature/goddard/202…

Whistles. Crunches. Whooshes. These are a few of the space sounds heard in a new citizen science project called HARP. By participating, you can investigate cosmic vibrations recorded by NASA spacecraft that help sing the song of the Sun and Earth. More: go.nasa.gov/3mDXm7o

I spoke to @newscientist today about the Jupiter-Venus conjunction this week, hopefully will be stunning and not ☁️
Oh hey, @newscientist got a shiny new website! And for it, I wrote about the Jupiter-Venus conjunction taking place this week newscientist.com/article/236…

@Magnetodawn recommends 👇 quick thread on solar wind shocks on heliospheric planetary magnetospheres Tweeted by @QMSpacePlasma , link hints they're fond of some shocking stuff -- right up my alley! 💕 issibern.ch/teams/heliosyssp… @IC_SpaceAtmos @ImperialPhysics @martinarcher

During this #WorldSpaceWeek, Dr Heli Hietala and a team of space experts from across the world are at the International Space Science Institute in Bern, Switzerland, listening to the sounds solar wind makes when it hits the planets!
