Rosetta’s Plasma Consortium (RPC) has uncovered a mysterious ‘song’ that Comet 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko is singing into space. The comet seems to be emitting a ‘song’ in the form of oscillations in the magnetic field in the comet’s environment. It is being sung at 40-50 millihertz, far below human hearing, which typically picks up sound between 20 Hz and 20 kHz. To make the music audible to the human ear, the frequencies have been increased.

I absolutely love this. There’s something so magical about the idea of a comet emitting a song out into the universe that is not audible to the human ear. I think the same is true of our paths through life. What is the song your path is singing and how does it oscillate out into the world around you?
