yeah, see here:

Turns out this is old footage from the Curiosity rover and the sound has been patched in. Should practice more of what I preach to students about fact checking and critical thinking before retweeting. Still a cool video though! https://t.co/jq4g05wnO6

still incredible shot, but....i'd like to wait and see what the Perseverance records!

one of my friends posted al ink to this video and said "now watch all the conspiracists say this is fake"

What if I told you… the Earth blew up eons ago and we already are on Mars?

Microphones on the probe recorded atmospheric wind noises in an effort to measure wind speed (they also recorded noises associated with the probe's equipment).[5] This was the first recording of sound on another planet. The recording would be repeated with Venera 14.

oh, it's Gruel

PHEW, that descent video.

Ned Raggett, Monday, 22 February 2021 19:16 (three years ago) link

great stuff - even though the audio is more of a gimmick imo, it'll sound like wind, won't it?

StanM, Monday, 22 February 2021 19:54 (three years ago) link

Even so!

Ned Raggett, Monday, 22 February 2021 19:57 (three years ago) link

even if the microphone just confirms predicted sound patterns, that confirmation is worth something

Truly is.

The fact that this was accomplished in such times is something else. I know this is obv, but still.

So inspiring.

I’m taking it all in. This is the first 360º view of my home using Mastcam-Z. This dual, high-definition camera system sits atop my mast and has zoom capability.

At maximum magnification, it's cool to scan the features along the horizon.

four months pass...

well this has blown my mind. I thought the reason the reason the atmosphere of Mars was stripped away by solar winds was most likely because the core cooled down and stopped generating a magnetic field.
