The instrument was created to "listen" for marsquakes, but it can pick up vibrations as subtle as a slight breeze on the Red Planet. Although it's created to listen to marsquakes, it has given scientists the opportunity to hear sounds from morning to night on the mysterious planet. [Full Article...]
Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories. Enceladus shot the material out in plumes from cracks in its south polar crust, according to scientists. The compounds are yet another sign that Enceladus might have its own version of a process that creates life on Earth. It's cold down there, but many species have evolved to withstand it.

Jasraj is the recipient of numerous awards, honours, and titles, including the prestigious Padma Vibhushan and the Sangeet Natak Akademi Award. As minor planet discoveries are confirmed, they are given a permanent number by IAU's Minor Planet Centre. [Full Article...]
Each event acts as a sort of flashbulb, illuminating the orb's interior and revealing the depth and composition of its layers. Since the quakes are far below the human range of hearing, the recordings collected by the "very broad band sensors" from SEIS and NASA's producers speeded them up and slightly processed them to make them audible through headphones, according to NASA .

It is being developed by Pittsburgh-based company Astrobotic with the help of Carnegie Mellon University, and already received funding earlier this year through the Phase II SBIR Award . As a result, NASA reduced the number of required contract deliverables from 116 to 37. "I don't think it will take more than a month", the official mentioned. [Full Article...]
The rocket was carrying Meir, as well as a Russian astronaut and the first-ever space traveler from the United Arab Emirates, according to a NASA press release. Later in the expedition, spacewalkers are scheduled to upgrade and fix the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer , a key science instrument housed outside the station to study dark matter and the origins of the universe.

The ninth planet may not be the primary black hole . "Capture of a free-floating planet is a leading explanation for the origin of Planet Nine, and we show that the probability of capturing a PBH instead is comparable", the astronomers wrote in the paper. [Full Article...]
Along with the brief update on the mission, NASA links to a pair of audio files that it says are representative of the quakes the InSight lander has heard since it arrived. InSight's mechanical ears hear all of that, and it's up to the science team to separate that noise from the sounds coming from within the planet. "It's been exciting, especially in the beginning, hearing the first vibrations ... [Full Article...]
