Spooky Astronomy Sounds

courtesy of Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), just in time for Halloween. As all of you who are fans of the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey" know, there is no sound in space (technical reason: sound is just waves moving in air - the air equivalent of water waves resulting from dropping a rock in a puddle, so no air in space means no sound in space), so JPL has taken some interesting light signatures are converted them into audio files, which are available here. Enjoy!
