The scary sound of Earth’s magnetic field Despite being essential to life on Earth, the magnetic field isn’t something we can actually see in itself, or ever hear. But, remarkably, scientists at the Technical University of Denmark have taken magnetic signals measured by ESA’s Swarm satellite mission and converted them into sound – and for something that protects us, the result is pretty scary.

I get these in my voice mail often. It's Santa's phone dialing from inside his sack while he traverses through the Noth Pole, wondering where his eyefone 4S was last. I don't know why I'm on his speed dial tho?
