1. Once in your breakout groups, spend a few minutes checking out these links to NASA content.

2. Discuss the question prompts within your group.

3. We'll rejoin the full group at 9:30(PT) to talk about how the work of the PLANETS project aligns with our interests and values.

What's it like hearing these sounds as if you're hearing them on Mars?

Can you explain why these sounds are a bit different on Mars?

Hello from the children of planet Earth
As it would sound on Earth
NASA attached golden records to each of the twin Voyager spacecraft before they launched in 1977. The purpose was to send a message from Earth to any spacefarers that might find the spacecraft in the future. In addition to images, music, and sounds from Earth, greetings in 55 languages were aboard, including this one in English.

What does Mars actually sound like?

Did you know sound works differently on Mars than it does on Earth? Mars has a different atmosphere than Earth, so sounds on the Red Planet would sound a bit different and be more muffled. Perseverance has captured sounds such as dust devils, the whir of the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter in flight, and the sound of its wheels crunching over the rocky Martian terrain.

Mic for Science

One microphone is part of the SuperCam instrument, on top of the rover's mast. SuperCam fires a laser at distant rock targets to help determine what they're made of. Scientists have recorded the sounds of the laser hitting a rock target. Variations in the sounds of that laser pop give clues to the rock hardness, mass and type. This mic has also captured the sounds of Martian wind.

Mic to Record Landing

The team added an additional experimental, off-the-shelf commercial microphone to the side of the rover, to record the sounds of Entry, Descent, and Landing. While it wasn't able to collect audio from the turbulent entry and descent, this microphone did survive the landing, and has recorded additional sounds of the rover on Mars.

Overview The Perseverance rover carries two microphones, letting us directly record the sounds of Mars for the very first time. Even though Earth and Mars are entirely different planets, it may be comforting to know that if you were on Mars, you might still sound pretty much like yourself.
