The rover happened to have its microphone turned on when the dust phenomenon passed above it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The noise sounds like wind hitting the microphone, and pieces of dust can also be heard striking the device. The audio is not particularly loud because of the thin atmosphere on Mars, although it sounds similar to dust devils that appear on planet Earth.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The recording took place last year, according to Naomi Murdoch of the University of Toulouse, the lead author of the study in Nature Communications.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cAs the dust devil passed over Perseverance we could actually hear individual impacts of grains on the rover,\u201d Murdoch <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/science\/2022\/12\/13\/mars-rover-dust-devil\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a>. \u201cWe could actually count them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The recordings are captured just eight times each month, and the microphone on the rover records for less than three minutes. However, the scientists try to plan the video and audio recordings to coincide with times the dust devils are likely to happen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Murdoch said it was \u201cdefinitely luck\u201d that the dust devil appeared at the same time the microphones were live on September 27, 2021.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cIt was fully caught red-handed by Persy,\u201d co-author German Martinez of the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Weird\/wireStory\/mars-rover-captures-1st-sound-dust-devil-red-95163592\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The rover collected data on the dust devil in multiple ways.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In the Nature <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41467-022-35100-z#:~:text=Dust%20devils%20(convective%20vortices%20loaded,site%20of%20the%20Perseverance%20rover.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">publication<\/a>, researchers describe the dust devils as \u201cconvective vortices loaded with dust\u201d and are \u201ccommon at the surface of Mars, particularly at Jezero crater, the landing site of the Perseverance rover.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The scientists noted that increasing the knowledge about \u201cdust lifting and atmospheric transport\u201d is vital to simulate the dust pattern correctly and to be able to predict dust storms. It is also important \u201cfor future space exploration as grain impacts are implicated in the degradation of hardware on the surface of Mars.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Images of Martian dust devils have been captured for many years, but the sounds they make had never been heard before this recording. The dust devil captured was almost 400 feet tall, around 80 feet wide, and moving at 16 feet per second, which is typical.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=lICyLnT7iPo&#038;t=13s&#038;ab_channel=AssociatedPress\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WATCH<\/a>:<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scientists were able to hear an exciting sound from another planet and release the audio for the public to experience on Tuesday.\u00a0 It is the first time earthlings have heard the swirling columns of wind and dust known as Martian dust devils, which coincidentally traveled directly above the NASA Perseverance rover and sprayed the device &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":95,"featured_media":1774129,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[541],"tags":[8686,6202,8685,8682,7767,8683,3684,8684,6195],"class_list":["post-1774126","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-daily-wire","tag-audio","tag-daily","tag-devil","tag-dust","tag-first-ever","tag-martian","tag-release","tag-researchers","tag-wire"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1774126","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/95"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1774126"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1774126\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1774129"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1774126"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1774126"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1774126"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
