Still from video |
Using secondary source materials from the Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko comet landing, (all original imagery etc (C) of ESA/Rosetta), I have manipulated and edited/layered components in order to create two video files, the first documenting a model of Comet 67P, the second documenting the landing on comet 67P.
The audio file on the first video is a song in the form of oscillations in the magnetic field in the comet's environment. It is being sung at 40-50 millihertz, far below human hearing, which typically picks up sound between 20 Hz and 20 kHz. To make the music audible to the human ear, the frequencies have been increased by a factor of about 10,000.
"The music was heard clearly by the magnetometer experiment (RPC-Mag) for the first time in August, when Rosetta drew to within 100 km of 67P/C-G. The scientists think it must be produced in some way by the activity of the comet, as it releases neutral particles into space where they become electrically charged due to a process called ionisation. But the precise physical mechanism behind the oscillations remains a mystery." (Extract from the ESA Rosetta blog.)
