Meteor Mars
f it turns out there are martians… do you want them to look like us? Or do you want your martians with six arms and lizard heads? I ask because we’ve just heard the first live recording of a meteor crashing into the surface of Mars. It’d be cool if it sounded just like the meteor that exploded over the Great Salt Lake. Remember … a month ago. Saturday morning started with an earth shattering boom that echoed across three states. We all wondered if it was an earthquake… or a military test… a rocket blast… or even an earthquake. That was impressive. But it turns out with the thin unbreathable atmosphere on Mars… a meteor blast. This rock hurtling through the heavens at unimaginable speed toward Mars produce a different sound than you’d expect. The Perseverance Rover set-up a microphone on the Martian surface …and on Labor Day weekend a meteor struck roughly 100 miles away. And while we’re all used to Star Wars version of cosmic explosions… this -for the first time ever - is what a giant meteor sounds like when it blasts a crater into the martian surface. You ready? —— To me… that sounds like a bubble bath in a thunderstorm. Here it is again. Wimpyt. A weak little noise indicates sound indicates ... if there are martians. whether they look like lizards or just like us… twhen that meteor hit… they probably looked unimpressed
