I am no longer maintaining this site. Nobody wants outdated information, so I'll pull it down altogether by the end of December, 2011.

[1] Introduction
This page started as a page of sounds sent back from spacecraft that were generally conversions from instrumentation readings, or in a few cases, literally recorded using microphones.
In some cases, I understand that the audio may be an extra tool for researches to interpret new data where visual interpretation presents particular difficulties.
Slowly, I found, too, many human voices talking about space to ignore them, and included those too - audio and video clips and podcasts are all included.
By the way, if you want to identify objects in the night sky, try investigating the
SkyScout. It will name any object in the sky or search for one you nominate, using GPS.
