The sound of nothing sounds like something

(special thanks to Holt - for sending me a link to this)

Check this the fuck out!

These are unholy sounds recorded by NASA in OUTER SPACE. They are chilling.

Here's some into on what you are about to hear:

"A 2005 flyby of Enceladus, one of Saturn’s moons, captured the sound of powerful ion cyclotron waves (organized fluctuations in the magnetic field), providing data about what ions were present in the atmosphere.

Radar echoes picked up as the probe descended onto Titan increase in pitch and intensity as the satellite neared the Saturnian moon, hinting at the nature and composition of its surface.

Sound samples recorded by Huygen's microphones during that descent were pieced together in a lab to create an audio reproduction of what a traveler would have heard while hurtling through Titan’s atmosphere."

WARNING: This may hurt your brain. The second one especially. The end is intense.

ALSO: Try not to vomit while looking at this ACTUAL PICTURE of saturn taken on a recent Cassini mission.
