The Chilling Sound Of Phobos - BoingBoing

In space no one can hear you scream, but one of Mars's moons has a unique sound based on the video shared by the mononymous Popkin. Sadly Popkin, nor the video uploader, give any context to this eerie racket redolant of 1950's b-films but it's guaranteed to wake anyone up. For a little more, the European Space Agency has its own take on the sounds of Phobos. From deeper space, NASA Remixes Haunting Sound Of Black Hole For Human Ears which is haunting and the black hole in question, per Monisha Ravisetti, is in the Perseus galaxy cluster. Following the dictum of Paracelsus, "As above, so below" the answer to "What do bacteria sound like" lay in Bacterial Soundtracks Revealed By Nanotechnology. The nanotechnology? A graphene "drum skin" upon which E. coli bounces until it can bounce no more. And beyond the "gee whiz" factor, there's a scientific use for such recordings! (CS)
