Eerie Sounds from Saturn

Mick Ohrberg writes "Scientists at NASA have now heard proof (called 'Saturn kilometric radiation') that Saturn has a phenomenon similar to the earths' Northern Lights (aurora borealis). Talking about the eerie sounding noise, Dr. Bill Kurth with the University of Iowa, says "We believe that the changing frequencies are related to tiny radio sources moving up and down along Saturn's magnetic field lines." It couldn't sound any spookier if they added a Theremin."

    My point was this...as a parent, it excites me that my kids have an opportunity that I didn't when I was younger. And, since you posted as an anonymous coward...I would like to thank you for your contribution. Fucking spineless bastard. Piss off and boil your head.
