The universe is full of mysteries for us humans. We find it fascinating from a scientific point of view. But not only. It captivates us because we believe we can find the answer to the origin of our existence.

However, spacecraft instruments can pick up radio emissions from various bodies in the universe, which we can then translate into sound waves once we reach Earth. This is how NASA recorded the symphony of the planets. And make no mistake, this is not a symphony in the classical sense. The symphony of the planets is a series of sounds that some people find a bit creepy.
The universe, and the planets, have played a role in the spiritual, religious, and worldview of different cultures on Earth.
