Bird Songs In The Magnetosphere,

[knocker]

A strange phenomenon that happens at sunrise. A dawn chorus happens thousands of miles above the Earth’s surface, although it has nothing to do with birds. This song was captured by a Nasa satellite on September 5 in the Earth’s magnetosphere, thousands of miles high, and yet it sounds like birds chirping

These sounds are created by particles trapped in the magnetosphere where they become accelerated.

They can be heard at:

I lost it a long time ago Pete. Grouse may have been partially responsible.

Actually on consideration it sounds a bit like the model thread. Dear old Mugli.
