Space Music

Posted by michael on from the sound-of-silence dept.

KeelSpawn writes "CNN is running an article about "sounds in outer space", which begins: "University of Iowa astrophysicist Donald Gurnett first heard the sounds on a spacecraft in 1962 and it reminded him of music. The sounds, which resemble whistles, bird chirps and booms, would not be heard by someone in space but are picked up by sensitive radio equipment. The sounds will be blended into a performance this autumn by the Kronos Quartet when they play at Hancher Auditorium at the University of Iowa in Iowa City." The U. of Iowa has a page about the concert.

    Wow, you're a dick.

    Just because your response was WAY FUCKING funnier than the parent post doesn't give you the right to expose your shlongitude in public.

    You're like a penis-bird perch and you're unhappy that the parent got points while you toil away unloved.

    C'est la vie.

    You should watch the Comedy Channel for some real pros, I know they sure as FUCK aren't hanging around here.
