What does Martian wind sound like? Now we knowInSight, or NASA's Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport lander, provided the first "sounds" of Martian winds to human ears on Friday. The spacecraft's sensors captured a "haunting low rumble caused by vibrations from the wind," a NASA spokesperson wrote in a press release. "The winds were consistent with the direction of dust devil streaks in the landing area, which were observed from orbit," the NASA statement added.
