Martian Winds

Posted on 2018-12-11 by PrismPrincess

NASA’s InSight landed on Mars on November 26, 2018.  One piece of equipment it was carrying is the seismometer.  That instrument has recorded wind sounds from the Elysium Planitia.  Take a listen:

Sounds of Mars: NASA’s InSight Senses Martian Wind

Listen to Martian wind blow across NASA’s InSight lander. The spacecraft’s seismometer and air pressure sensor picked up vibrations from 10-15 mph (16-24 kph) winds as they blew across Mars’ Elysium Planitia on Dec. 1, 2018. The seismometer readings are in the range of human hearing, but are nearly all bass and difficult to hear on laptop speakers and mobile devices.
