Mars rover captures first ever sound of dust devil

NASA’s Perseverance rover had its microphone on when a whirling tower of red dust passed directly overhead. It captured rumbling gusts of up to 25 mph and the pinging of hundreds of dust particles. (Dec. 13)

Wow, I didn't know Dust Devils on Mars are able to play Ambient Synth music. Fascinating!

[matkins]

It'll be nice to just hear the actual dust devil sound entirely instead theme music. SMH🙄

[emisiq]

I wiish to hear the sound not the music.

[nexusreader]

How can you hear it with music playing?

[majorwhite]

Arizona looks wonderful, this time of year

[randyo]

They forgot to add the red filter on the sky.

[BLLaKaT]

Hey maybe play the sound of the dust devil instead of theme music

[mattjohnson]

Holst was way off about the sound of Mars. He thought harsh brass and timpani but it's really soft piano and ambient pads... at least we know now.

In space no one can hear you scream... but you can hear ambient synth music on Mars. I believe it's Tubular Bells on Saturn.

"They've been photographed for decades"
How cool is it that we have something that we've seen so much of it's almost 'boring' and can only be considered so because of those decades of extremely passionate people dedicating their time to the research.

Faut vraiment être bête pour mettre une musique en plus la dessus !

[spotable]

That would have been truly magical without the synth sounds mate.

About time. Took them until 2022 to do this.
Sure the Soviets were doing this with Venera on the planet Venus, much further away 40!!! years ago in 1982.

To me it's a much bigger deal to see movement on Mars than to hear obvious sounds.

[Two-Vees-In-a-Van]

Why spoil it with music ! The whole point of the video was to listen to the sound from mars.

[meandyou]

Whose bright idea was it to add music to this video? Had to be a real genius.

[kitten_anakin]

I wonder how much it is on the Fujita scale.

[aisonraygaming]

Is this really mars? Notice the blue skies, you sure..?

[Topazman]

This showed us that there's an atmosphere on Mars.

[DavidNewmon]

They let you hear the sound while analyzing the spectrograph... Not linked up with the video though? The rest of the sound is terrible music that shouldn't be there!
