Aurora (astronomy) - Sounds Associated With Auroras

Sounds Associated With Auroras

Aalto University has conducted a study by recording static-like sounds related to the Aurora Borealis, in Finland (2012). These findings manifested that the low sounds were correlated to the visual presence of the Aurora Borealis, and that these sounds were produced approximately 70 meters above ground. It is suggested that these sounds come from the solar particles associated with creating the aurora.

Famous quotes containing the word sounds:

    Denotation by means of sounds and markings is a remarkable abstraction. Three letters designate God for me; several lines a million things. How easy becomes the manipulation of the universe here, how evident the concentration of the intellectual world! Language is the dynamics of the spiritual realm. One word of command moves armies; the word liberty entire nations.
    Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)
