These are the otherworldly sounds picked up by Juno near Jupiter


As the Juno spacecraft passed through the "bow shock" outside of Jupiter's magnetosphere on June 24, the probe's instruments picked up the cacophony that accompanied the dramatic event.
"The bow shock is analogous to a sonic boom," Juno team member William Kurth of the University of Iowa said in a statement. "The solar wind blows past all the planets at a speed of about a million miles per hour, and where it hits an obstacle, there's all this turbulence." Jupiter's magnetosphere is "the bubble in which the giant planet's magnetic field controls the movement of particles," Space.com explains, and it's the largest structure in the solar system.
