Boethius: How Music Players Convert Data Into Sound?

When the topic of music is brought up people tend to think about their favorite artist, genre, or song, but what many do not know or realize is that the planets of the solar system make music. Sounds given off by the planets do not exist in the most conventional way that is seen on earth. Rather, sounds exist as electromagnetic vibrations emitted by the planets and trapped radio waves bouncing between each planet and its atmosphere (Millis). These electromagnetic vibrations and radio waves are not audible to the human ear so they cannot be heard if orbiting the planet. So, specially designed instruments are used to detect these electromagnetic vibrations and radio waves and store them as data (Millis). Scientists can then make the music of each planet by converting the stored data into sound waves that are audible to the human ear (Millis). This conversion of electromagnetic vibrations and radio waves is the same as how music players convert data into sound (Millis). It is almost as if the planets record their own music for the universe to hear. Each planet
Music can be described as the science or art of ordering sounds in succession to produce a composition having continuity. When listening to each recording of the planets it is easy to tell that they follow the format of music. Despite the music produced by the planets sounding more ethereal than what most people are accustomed to, the music has tone and follows a beat or rhythm and does not just fire off at random. While the sounds of most of the planets have very similar characteristics, Saturn and Venus sound completely unique. Saturn has a high pitch ringing that sounds like it came straight out of a horror movie soundtrack and Venus has a very low pitch tribalistic horn sound to it. Although it is not complete common knowledge yet, the planets in the solar system make their own
