NASA publishes the “funny” sound of Meteor and Mars Collision

Jakarta, CNN Indonesia

United States Institute of Aeronautics and Space (NASA) releases the sound resulting from the collision meteor that hit the ground on Mars.

NASA captured the sound recording of the impact using the InSight instrument. The recording was made in early September, when it captured the faint sound of a meteoroid crashing into the Martian atmosphere, then exploding into pieces and hitting the surface hard enough to leave a mark.

But the resulting sound is quite fun. The reason, according to reports, is the entry of meteoroids to Mars is rather difficult The border.

“Blop, bloop, bloop,” said the meteor that hit the Martian soil.

The noise is hilarious in part because of the way impact sound waves travel through Mars’ dry atmosphere.

Under certain conditions, such as deserts on Earth, high-pitched sounds travel slower than high-pitched ones.

“An observer close to the impact will hear a ‘boom’, while someone many miles away will hear the bass sound first, creating a ‘bloop’, according to the explanation. NASA.

The sound was finally picked up by InSight, which landed in 2018 and has been recording large and small “marsquake” on the red planet in recent years.

InSight listens to planetary vibrations and gives scientists a better idea of ​​what’s going on deep inside the Martian surface.

Researchers have been observing the impacts of space rocks in InSight data for a while, but September 5, 2021 is the first time they see the impacts using the tools.

With information from InSight, the scientists were able to determine exactly where they predicted the rocks would fall to the ground.

When the researchers sent the orbiter to Mars to check for possible landing sites, they found three craters.

“After three years of waiting for InSight to detect the impact, the crater looks beautiful,” said Ingrid Daubar, a researcher at Brown University.

Using the information from those collisions, they were able to go back through the InSight data and select three other collisions spread out among the roughly 1,300 Mars earthquakes the instrument detected.
