So, as I’m sure you guys are aware, the European Space Agency landed a small space probe a comet hurdling through space a tens of thousands of miles per hour.



What you might not have heard (literally) is that we got back a sound recording from the probe and the results are, well, eerie.



“This is exciting because it is completely new to us. We did not expect this and we are still working to understand the physics of what is happening,” RPC principal investigator Karl-Heinz Glaßmeier said in a press release.
Since we don't have a sound cloud media option use the link above or here for the sounds.











I'm not saying it's aliens...

It will be interesting to figure out what mechanism is behind the oscillations.
