US EditionScientists detect chirping cosmic waves in an unexpected part of space
- Scientists have detected cosmic waves that sound like birds chirping in an unexpected place.
- The waves were sensed over 62,000 miles from Earth, where they have never been measured before.
- The sounds were picked up by NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale satellites launched in 2015.
- The newfound waves open up new questions about the physics in this area, according to Allison Jaynes.

Scientists Detect Chirping Sounds in Space from Unlikely Distance
Scientists found electromagnetic waves they converted into chirping noises from much further in space than previously thought possible. Credits: Public Domain, via Wikimedia Commons. Scientists found electromagnetic waves they converted into chirping noises from much further in space than previously thought possible. They have identified that the phenomenon known as chorus waves originates from a sector within the magnetic field, located over 62…
Potentially deadly 'chirping waves' detected in baffling location...
Chorus waves are mysterious, chirping signals produced by spiraling plasma inside our planet's magnetic field. But a new detection suggests scientists may understand less about them than first thought. Scientists have detected strange chirping waves — which resemble the dawn chorus of birds — thousands of miles from Earth, and they could pose big problems for future spaceflight. Chorus waves, named because of their resemblance to birdsong when c…
Scientists at Beihang University in China have detected a chirping sound more than 100,000 kilometers from Earth. The researchers analyzed data from NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) satellites and identified a phenomenon called a "coronary wave." It's a burst of electromagnetic radiation that travels along the lines of Earth's magnetic field.
Potentially deadly 'chirping waves' detected in baffling location near Earth, and scientists are stumped
Chorus waves are mysterious, chirping signals produced by spiraling plasma inside our planet's magnetic field. But a new detection suggests scientists may understand less about them than first thought.
Astronomers have heard bursts of radiation from space that share similarities with birdsong, shedding more light on a mysterious phenomenon that is decades old and could affect satellites.
Nasa able to hear 'bird sounds' 62k miles from Earth in first-of-its-kind find
NASA has detected chirping noises that sound like birds emanating from space, and the source is something straight out of a sci-fi film. The jaw-dropping sounds burst through the Earth’s atmosphere from 62,000 miles away. APNASA has uncovered a bizarre chirping sound emanating from space that sounds like a bird[/caption] The noise came 62,000 miles from the Earth’s surfaceGetty Though most people would grab their bird-watching binoculars after h…
