HOW DOES THE WIND SOUND LIKE THE WIND ON MARS?

(Gracias a Tess Coll por darme la idea)

Surely you already know that the PERSEVERANCE spacecraft landed on MARS last Thrusday, February 18. Since that day Nasa has been offering us incredible high resolution photos sent by the rover that is right now 200 million kilometres from Earth.

Pero ¿alguna vez pensaste que tendrías la oportunidad de escuchar el sonido del viento en la superficie de otro planeta?

NASA has released 2 impressive audios of 15 seconds.This is the first sound recording to be made on the red planet.

The first of the audios( you can listen to both audios by clicking on the word sounds  ) is clean of the hum of the PERSEVERANCE engines, while in the second you can listen to the original sound without filtering. 

Merece la pena porque en ambos escucharás el sonido del viento marciano.Te recomiendo que lo escuches con auriculares porque tienen muy poca intensidad.

 Si te interesa el tema no te pierdas el vídeo en alta resolución del aterrizaje, realizado gracias a las numerosas cámaras instaladas en la Perseverance. Increíble la visión de la apertura del paracaídas de 27 metros de diámetro para frenar la velocidad de la nave, cómo se van separando las diferentes partes a medida que va cayendo y la polvareda de tierra roja que se levanta al acercarse a la superficie. En el montaje han ido combinando tomas de las diferentes cámaras para que podamos ver todas las fases del aterrizaje desde diferentes puntos de vista

.

Una curiosidad: las temperaturas en Marte ayer fueron de -8ºC la más alta y -74ºC la más baja.

Gustav Holst

September 21, 1874 - May 25, 1934

Known primarily for The Planets, Gustav Holst also composed other music, played the trombone and taught at a girl's school in London. His father taught him piano at an early age, but a nerve disease cut his career as a pianist short. ST

Holst was very interested in Hindu literature and philosophy and even learned Sanskrit so that he could translate passages written in this language himself. This religion influences many of his works.

Because of his jobs as a trombonist and a teacher, Holst did most of his composing in his spare time. The success of The Planets thrust him suddenly into the spotlight, where he was not very comfortable. However, it also insured his financial well-being. Because of illness, Holst gave up teaching in 1925 and was able to spend the next several years writing music. His works include operas, choral music, orchestral pieces and songs.
