A NASA satellite dipped into Venus' upper atmosphere in the summer of 2020 and recorded radio waves. The agency translated those radio waves into sound waves, which revealed how Venus' atmosphere reacts to the sun. As Host Carolyn Beeler explains, this gives scientists more insight into why Venus is so different from Earth, despite their similar sizes. When the probe flew super close to the sun, through its corona, the translated sounds were haunting.
