The Sound of Silence

Eerie Sounds of Saturn's Radio Emissions

Saturn is a source of intense radio emissions, which have been monitored by the Cassini spacecraft. The radio waves are closely related to the auroras near the poles of the planet. These auroras are similar to Earth's northern and southern lights. This is an audio file of radio emissions from Saturn. Read more: nasa.gov

Cassini Equinox Mission: Cassini Virtual Tour

"If this is the first time you've tried CASSIE, when you click on the button below it will automatically download and install the needed software (a free plug-in to your web-browser) and real Cassini mission data. The initial download is about 9 megabytes so it should only take a minute or two. (If you use a Mac you may need to install the software after it downloads and then restart your web-browser.) Once the plug-in is installed and the mission data is loaded, you're ready for your trip to the Saturn System.

When CASSIE appears in your web browser, click on one of the three Modes located in the large tab along the bottom of the screen."
