Our Solar system is not a vast silent space, with hundreds of probes sent throughout the universe sending back the real sounds of space- a universe we continue to explore. Sounds turned into Music, which we can freely download or listen to online- from the outer limits of Earth to the dark edges of a remote black hole.

As a keen astronomer, I often wondered if space was really as silent as we would imagine. Yet it is not quiet, as sounds are emitted from every moon, planet and object in space an unmanned probe passes.

Earth is no doubt one of most beautiful looking planets in our immediate solar system, but it sounds monotonous and almost ugly from space. Our home sounds like a recording from a highway- without horns blowing or the eerie sound of sirens. Almost a paradox- Visual beauty emitting the ugly sounds of a busy highway.

One of the most enchanting sounds come from Miranda- a dreamy sound similar to new age music or the relaxing music you hear in a spa.

A Black Hole, the dark legend of the universe and many say gateway to traveling between galaxies- emits a battle like sound- as two opposing armies unsettle each other with sporadic gunfire. Star Wars lovers would contrast the music, to an inter-galactic battle.

Jupiter has an alien like clicking sound, almost as if someone or something is communicating through sonar like an alien grasshopper or using a different form of morse code- we could almost feel the planet sending out an eerie lonely message from an unknown species

Neptune has a hollow and desolate sound, as desolate as our scientists claim the planet would be like on the surface. Venus, lives up to its reputation starting with the melody of the ancient battle horns of the ancient Gauls, into a sexy beat from the early 1990's.

Saturn starts from the buzzing sounds of rings to an enchanting if not astonishing symphony- which amazed personal from NASA who received the sounds from the far off Galileo probe, as drifted past the ringed planet.The Sun restless, volatile as it warms up our galaxy, hot, volatile and occasionally morbid sound of inner restlessness.

All these sounds, which have been adjusted for human hearing, are available freely on NASA's official website or on YouTube. Be ready to be surprised what you hear, and enjoy the sounds of our universe.
