These beautiful and mysteriousrecordings will touch primordial and mystical chords in the heart of your subconscious and intone the connection of your body*heart*mind*spirit with the larger body*heart*mind*spiritof the Universe.Interactions between the Solar Wind and the planets, moons and rings of our Solar System create “Soundscapes” of frequencies in the plasma energy “Ocean” that fills the void of space.Each planet, moon and ring system has a distinctive “musical” pattern. In putting samplings of each on this CD, Dr. Jeffrey Thompson, DC, B.F.A enables us to hear what can rightlybe called “Celestial Love Songs.” It is beautiful and powerful!Selections from the “NASA Space Sounds” series include the following:1) Voice of Earth2) Rings of Uranus3) Saturn’s Rings4) Saturn5) Neptune6) Uranus7) Jupiter8) Miranda9) Sphere of IO10) Space Sounds Music11) Song of EarthEach of the above selections are available as full length individual recordings on CDs in this series. “Float” to the heavens with the NASA Space Sounds and return with your gift within!JupiterThe sounds from Jupiter are extra-ordinarily beautiful. At times the recording sounds like a giant meditation gong, at other times like the sound of a beacon at the edge of theuniverse. Let the sounds from the largest planet of the solar system be a wake-up call to your unconscious mind.Jupiter, the fifth planet from the sun, is the largest and most massive planet in the solar system. In mass alone, it is three hundred times the mass of the Earth. Jupiter is mostlycomposed of hydrogen and helium. The entire planet is made of gas, with no solid surface under the atmosphere. The pressures and temperatures deep in Jupiter are so high, that gasesform a gradual transition into liquids which are gradually compressed into a metallic “plasma” in which the molecules have been stripped of their outer electrons. The winds ofJupiter are a thousand meters per second relative to the rotating interior. Jupiter’s magnetic field is four thousand times stronger than Earth’s and is tipped 11° of axis spin.This causes the magnetic field to wobble, which has a profound effect on trapped electronically charged particles. The plasma of charged particles is accelerated beyond the magnetosphereof Jupiter to speeds of tens of thousands of kilometers per second. It is these magnetic particle vibrations that generate some of the sounds you hear on this recording.Data from the Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecraft suggested that a ring system around the giant planet Jupiter existed; this was confirmed by the Voyager flybys. This image you see here wastaken by Voyager 2. Jupiter’s rings are very bright because they are composed of fine dust, which scatters light efficiently. The main ring is 700 km (4350 mi) wide, with a broad,thick “halo” inside it.For more information about plasma and magnetic fields and their relationship to our sound recordings from space, consult the April 1991 issue of Scientific American Magazine – articleentitled “Collisionless Shock Waves”.Special thanks to our friends and contacts at various U.S National Space Agencies and Universities. This Space Recording Series is dedicated to the memory of Fred Scarf, PhD, whodeveloped the acoustic recording project for Voyager and is directly responsible for the sounds you hear on these recordings from space.Planet Profile:Mass (kg)……………………………………..1.90 x 10^27Diameter (km)………………………………….142,800Mean density (kg/m^3) ………………………….1314Escape velocity (m/sec)…………………………59500Average distance from Sun (AU)…………………..5.203Rotation period (length of day in Earth hours)………9.8Revolution period (length of year) (in Earth years)..11.86Obliquity (tilt of axis) (degrees)……………….3.08Orbit inclination (degrees)……………………..1.3Orbit eccentricity……………………………..0.048Mean surface temperature (K)…………………….120 (cloud tops)Visual geometric albedo…………………………0.44Atmospheric components………………………….90% hydrogen, 10% helium, 7% methaneRings…………..Faint ring.

Its volume could enclose about 769 earth-sized planets. Evidence so far indicates that Saturn is “inside-out,” the solid material of the planet is in therings, with the gaseous atmosphere inside of the rings. Saturn’s magnetic field traps charged particles come from the solar wind. As these particles interact with the ionosphere ofSaturn and its rings and moons, they create “airglow emissions.”Voyager I & II’s 1980 encounter with Saturn revealed many dynamic details of this giant gas planet. Vast weather patterns across the face of Saturn in orange tang and white are the resultsof equatorial wind velocities of 1800 kilometers per hour.Saturn is second in size only to Jupiter. Saturn’s magnetopause (its electromagnetic envelope) has a magnetic tail which extends away from the sun. Saturn’s magnetic field trapscharged particles coming from the solar wind. Some of these interactions were recorded within the 20-20,000 hertz range, the range of human hearing, and are the ones you hear onthis recording.Enhanced images revealed a subtle bright spot in Saturn’s north tropical zone. There was also a large oval feature in the southern hemisphere with certain similarities to the greatred spot on Jupiter. The awesome magnetic and charged particle environment of Saturn plus its ionic interactions with it rings as well as free radio wave emissions from its ionosphere,contributed to the astounding variety of sounds on this recording.For more information about plasma and magnetic fields and their relationship to our sound recordings from space, consult the April 1991 issue of Scientific American Magazine, anarticle entitled “Collisionless Shock Waves”.Special thanks to our friends and contacts at various U.S National Space Agencies and Universities.

Its deep, throbbing vibrations seem to resonate directly into your bones, with layers of 3-dimensional sound majesticallymoving around and through you.Saturn is a giant gas planet which has no solid surface beneath the clouds. The solid material of the planet is in orbit and is known as its rings. Its an “inside-out” planet, so to speak.Saturn’s disk casts a shadow across its ring system. The visible side of the rings is directly illuminated by the sun. The broad dark band in the rings separates the outer A ringfrom the inner B ring. The C ring is much fainter and closer to the planet. The narrow F ring is just barely visible outside the A ring.Saturn’s Rings are 270,000 km in diameter, but only a few hundred meters thick. Particles are centimeters to decameters in size and are ice. Some may be covered with ice. Thereare traces of silicate and carbon minerals. There are four main ring groups and three more faint, narrow ring groups separated by gaps called divisions.Voyager I & II passed by Saturn on November 12, 1980, and on August 15, 1981, respectively. There are many hundreds of Rings which make up the spectacular bands around Saturn.They have been classified into four sections: The C-Ring appears blue; the B-Ring appears brown and green, the Cassini Division appears dark blue and the A-Ring appears gray.Saturn is a gas giant ball of mostly hydrogen and helium. High winds whip clouds into bright bands across the face of Saturn in tan, orange and ochre. The Rings span a distance equalto the distance between the earth and moon.For more information about plasma and magnetic fields and their relationship to our sound recordings from space, consult the April 1991 issue of Scientific American Magazine for anarticle entitled “Collisionless Shock Waves”.Special thanks to our friends and contacts at various U.S. National Space Agencies and Universities.

The beginning of this recording is busy, with many sounds swirling about. Then itabruptly changes and becomes vast, beautific and sweeping.The greenish color of the atmosphere of URANUS is due to methane and high altitude photochemical smog. Voyager II acquired this view of the seventh planet while departing the Uraniansystem in late January 1986. This image looks at the planet approximately along its rotational pole.For more information about plasma and magnetic fields and their relationship to Dr. Jeffrey Thompson, DC, B.F.A.’s sound recordings from space, consult the April 1991 issue ofScientific American Magazine for an article entitled “Collisionless Shock Waves”.Special thanks to our friends and contacts at various U.S. National Space Agencies and Universities.

It resembles Gigantic Tibetan Bowls being played in space. This Audio Program from space is great for centering and balancing,creating a great meditation experience.Voyager II encountered the planet Uranus and discovered its Rings in January, 1986. One startling aspect of Uranus is that its axis of rotation is inclined 97° 54 min from its orbitalplane. Uranus lies on its side, with its rings vertical. Of the 9 rings of Uranus, six are inclined with respect to the planet’s equatorial plane. The shape of several rings seem topulsate slightly differently from the others: one “breathes” in and out, while another changes its eccentricity somewhat over time.Visual and radio observations revealed the nine classical Rings of Uranus to be composed mainly of meter-sized boulders and to contain scarcely any dust particles. The ring strandsare among the darkest objects in the solar system. Such dark color may result from magnetosphereic bombardment of surfaces that contain organic molecules.An extended corona of atomic and molecular hydrogen extends through the entire ring network of Uranus. Sunlight interactions with the corona cause it to radiate ultravioletlight – a phenomenon called “electroglow”.For more information about plasma and magnetic fields and their relationship to our sound recordings from space, consult the April 1991 issue of Scientific American Magazine foran article entitled “Collisionless Shock Waves”.Special thanks to our friends and contacts at various U.S. National Space Agencies and Universities.

It’s largest canyon feature is the size of North America and has canyon walls 9 miles deep.There is a theory that this satellite of Uranus was torn apart by the gravitational force of Uranus at least 9 times and then reformed. This could account for the very strangeterrain. Miranda is a long time favorite Space Sound recording. It has very deep rhythmic base sounds. You can feel the full moon effect. Sounds like strange winds and occasionallyit sounds like choirs and voices singing, which gives Miranda a magical quality.For more information about plasma and magnetic fields and their relationship to our sound recordings from space, consult the April 1991 issue of Scientific American Magazine – articleentitled “Collisionless Shock Waves”.Special thanks to our friends and contacts at various U.S National Space Agencies and Universities.

At times they sound like strange drums and wind, at other times they resemble cricket sounds and thunderstorms. Like nothingyou have ever experienced before from the farthest planet out in our solar system from which Voyager made sound recordings.On its approach to Neptune in August 1989, Voyager 2 captured this image of the fourth and outermost of the giant gas planets. This image shows two of the four oval cloud featurestracked by the cameras. The large dark oval near the left edge revolves around Neptune every 18 hours. The bright clouds immediately to the south and east of this oval substantiallychange their appearance in periods as short as 4 hours. The second dark spot, at the lower right edge, revolves around Neptune every 16 hours.Voyager II swept past the Neptune system on August 24-25, 1989. Neptune’s atmosphere proved surprisingly active, with wind velocities clocked at over 700 MPH. This dynamic climacticactivity is powered by Neptune’s internal heat, which provides over twice as much energy as the feeble sunlight that the planet receives. Neptune has eight moons and three rings, aswell as a highly tilted and offset magnetic field.Neptune’s electromagnetic environment is surprising. It is inclined to the planetary axis by 47°. Periodic pulses of radio energy were also recorded, generated by rotation of theplanet’s deep interior. Neptune’s lovely blue color is a result of methane, helium and hydrogen gasses in its atmosphere.The picture of Neptune on the cover of this CD features the great dark spot, which is accompanied by white clouds that undergo rapid changes in appearance. To the south of the greatdark spot is the bright feature that scientist’s nicknamed “scooter”. Still further to the south is the feature called “Dark Spot 2”, which has a bright core.For more information about plasma and magnetic fields and their relationship to our sound recordings from space, consult the April 1991 issue of Scientific American Magazine – articleentitled “Collisionless Shock Waves”.Special thanks to our friends and contacts at various U.S National Space Agencies and Universities.

The sounds on Voice of Earth are beyond amazing…This recording was used as part of a one hour TV special in Japan for its effectiveness in alleviating sleep disorders in children.The Voice of Earth Sounds come from the interaction of the Solar Wind with the magnetosphere of Earth. You are hearing the Aura Borealis, NASA Injun I, Hawkeye, IMP1 and ISEE ISpace Probes Recordings.The energy production of the Sun is far from even and fluctuates on an 11 year cycle. Maximum production coincides with high sunspot activity when processes on the Sun’s surfacethrow particles far out into space. These particles are called the solar wind. When the Solar Wind collides with the magnetosphere with a sufficient number of particles, it causesthe northern lights.These space sounds of Earth were recorded by the Injun I, Hawkeye, IMP I and ISEE I space probes from Earth orbit.Although space is a vacuum, this does not mean that there is no sound. it only means that there is no air in space to act as a medium to transmit soundwaves to your ear. The speciallydesigned instruments on board these probes were designed to pick up and record these vibrational frequencies. This information, which was sent back to Earth and decoded, are the beautifuland intriguing sounds you hear on this recording. The sounds you hear are interactions of the solar wind with the Earth’s magnetosphere, ionosphere, plasma wave phenomena and interactions between Earth’s ionosphere and magnetosphere. These vibration frequencies are all exactly within the range of human hearing, 20 – 20,000 Hz. This is truly the real “Voice” of Earth.These recordings have been specially processed, filtered and spacially mastered in 3-D sound for deep relaxation and stress reduction.For more information about plasma and magnetic fields and their relationship to our sound recordings from space, consult the April 1991 issue of Scientific American Magazine – articleentitled “Collisionless Shock Waves”.Special thanks to our friends and contacts at various U.S National Space Agencies and Universities.

They are compressed electronically down to the fundamental harmonic frequency. At this range, the space recordings sound like unique musical instruments.Using these specially created musical instrument sounds from the planets, Dr. Thompson has created a special series of musical compositions that have the original space recordings.Each is a personal journey into and through our Solar System, into a place strangely alien to us and yet strangely familiar.For more information about plasma and magnetic fields and their relationship to our sound recordings from space, consult the April 1991 issue of Scientific American Magazine for anarticle entitled “Collisionless Shock Waves”.Special thanks to our friends and contacts at various U.S. National Space Agencies and Universities.
