NASA Music Out of This World

Posted by michael on from the anthropomorphism dept.

Koyaanisqatsi writes "With detection instruments on NASA's Voyagers, Galileo, Cassini and other spacecraft, University of Iowa physicist Dr. Don Gurnett recorded waves that course through outer space. Gurnett converted the plasma waves into sounds which inspired a 10-movement musical composition called "Sun Rings." Sample the sounds from Galileo, Voyager and Cassini. (Full Story)"

    A dog-shoots-man story

    Associated Press

    Published Oct 24, 2002 DOG25
    MOBRIDGE, S.D. -- Accidental gunshot wounds are common during South Dakota's pheasant hunting season.

    And now a Minnesota man is recovering from a shotgun blast to the ankle that was set off by a dog.

    It happened Saturday south of Keldron just outside the North Dakota border.

    Michael Murray of Brooklyn Park was part of a group of hunters that had just returned to their vehicles.

    They put their shotguns on the ground and lined up for a picture when one of the dogs stepped on a gun and it went off.
