Researchers studying recordings made by microphones on NASA's Perseverance rover found that sound travels much slower on Mars than it does on Earth. In a study published in Nature on Friday, the team ...

The Perseverance rover captured the world’s imagination when it recorded sounds from the surface of Mars shortly after its arrival on the red planet in 2021. It recorded sounds of the Martian wind, as ...

Mars is about to be a very busy place when three separate missions arrive at the red planet in February. One of those missions includes NASA's Perseverance rover. When it lands, we'll be able to hear ...

In 1947, Chuck Yeager flew the X-1, an experimental rocket plane, over Rogers Dry Lake in Southern California and broke the sound barrier for the first time. To pull it off, he had to fly his plane at ...

The microphone aboard Mars Rover Perseverance has captured a number of interesting noises in its explorations, but for the most part, "a deep silence prevails" on the red planet. You can still hear ...

Using a microphone, a laser, and some crafty mathematics, a team of scientists has measured the speed of sound on Mars, in what is a scientific first and another cool finding made possible by NASA’s ...

In space, people actually can hear you scream (or sing), it turns out. Groundbreaking data collected by NASA’s Perseverance rover is able to replicate how people would sound on Mars compared to Earth.

Audio gathered by the mission may not sound quite the same on Mars as it would to our ears on Earth. A new interactive online experience lets you sample the difference. When the Mars Perseverance ...

If you hope to one day visit Mars, expect everything to sound much slower than on Earth and eerily quiet, according to new research using NASA's Perseverance rover. Before the rover landed on the red ...

The planet Mars has several similarities with Earth, including extinct volcanoes, dry lake beds, and active dust storms, the last of which is governed by the Red Planet’s prevailing winds. However, ...

On Mars, the speed of sound depends on its pitch. All sound travels slower through Mars’ air compared with Earth’s. But the higher-pitched clacks of a laser zapping rocks travels slightly faster in ...

NASA has created an online tool that lets users hear how their voices would sound on Mars. Data collected by a NASA rover can replicate how people would sound on Mars compared to Earth. The ...
