It's radio, Jim -- but not as we know it.
A few questions from an ignorant layman:
I've heard of terms such as 'galactic noise', 'solar noise', and 'cosmic microwave background'. From what I've been told, CMB can be heard as the static between stations. What about the other two? In fact, what are they? Do they affect reception? Are they easily identifiable? Also, what other 'extra terrestrial' phenonema can be heard on the average receiver? (Besides ET calling home!) Can the aurora borealis or meteorites be heard? |

Do a net search on "amateur radio astronomy" for lots of material describing emissions and how to detect them. Also, what other 'extra terrestrial' phenonema can be heard on the average receiver? (Besides ET calling home!) Can the aurora borealis or meteorites be heard? Certainly they affect propagation; hams have worked aurora skip on high bands for years, and meteor scatter systems were used during the cold war for data transmission in areas without infrastructure. When Jupiter has strong active magnetic storms, they can be heard on a variety of bands using a variety of modes; years ago during a particularly strong period, characteristic sounds of these emissions could be heard on ordinary FM radios (in a quiet part of the band).

A little above 20 MHz as I recall. |
