Spooky Sounds from Outer Space!

Do not attempt to adjust your...radio. NASA controls the horizontal and the vertical ... and the pitch, compression, and visualization. But as for the rest of it, it's all straight recorded from outer space!

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has posted some interesting sound clips from several missions, including some very peculiar ones from the recent Cassini mission to Saturn and its Earth-ish moon, Titan. I especially enjoyed hearing the nail-biting sounds from the hailstorm that the Cassini probe endured while punching through Saturn's ice-packed rings and the magnetic maelstrom Voyager 1 recorded while passing into Jupiter's turbulent, elongated magnetosphere.
