A Howling Success

Ganymede   (2021 Juno photo)
Here on Earth, wolves howl at the moon.  Way out near Jupiter, a moon howls back.

How do we know?  Because NASA’s Juno expedition sent back data on Ganymede’s “electric and magnetic radio waves.”  These waves were then shifted into a format that humans can hear.  The result sounds like some sort of eerie howling.

Ganymede is the largest of Jupiter’s many known moons.  It has a variable magnetosphere, as evidenced by the highs and lows of these audible waves.
