Q&A on Beyond Visible Noise Space Poetry Short Film Martin Archer 2021-06-25 | Watch 'Beyond Visible Noise' youtube.com/watch?v=u1vBDLLLzVgMore behind the scenes of the poem: imperial.ac.uk/news/224673/science-spoken-word-collide-poetry-project'Beyond Visible Noise' was produced as part of Experimental Words (experimentalwords.com/). It came about from numerous conversations between Martin and Shareefa on many disparate areas that they were able to bring together into a cohesive narrative. One key jumping off point was Martin’s scientific research into the sounds of space present around our planet and how they affect our everyday lives. He has been making satellite recordings of these sounds audible to humans and they are incorporated into the final track. Discussions about this work prompted Shareefa to explore the limits of humans’ senses and the power of sound as both a physical and psychological force - one which can be used nefariously, but can also bring about awe. Our final talking point that ended up in the poem was around attempts at universal languages and communication, such as on the Pioneer plaques. By being re-exposed to Physics and Maths, subjects she was put off from at school, Shareefa wondered how many fail to appreciate the richness they can bring in explaining both the familiar and wildly abstract wonders of our universe, leaving the poem on a hopeful end point. Through the brainstorming, writing, and recording processes, ‘Beyond Visible Noise’ became a true sonic journey! It was a great experience for both Martin and Shareefa to think outside of the box and work with someone from an entirely different background to their own.

Magnetic Song of Earth’s Foreshock in Space during Solar Storms | SSFX Space Sound Effects Martin Archer 2019-11-18 | Transformed into audible sound, hear the magnetic waves measured by ESA’s Cluster mission generated in the Earth's foreshock region of space – the first region of our planet’s magnetic environment that solar wind particles encounter. In the undisturbed foreshock during quiet conditions, the sounds are very low pitch and monotonous. In contrast, during a solar storm the magnetic waves in the foreshock roughly double their frequency and become more complicated than during calm space weather conditions, resulting in audible sounds that are around an octave higher and much more variable.Overview of the findings: youtu.be/KP1Jlt0XIykFind out more: http://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/Earth_s_magnetic_song_recorded_for_the_first_time_during_a_solar_stormPaper: doi.org/10.1029/2019GL084437

School Students Identify Sounds of Earths Magnetic Shield Recovering Martin Archer 2018-10-17 | Students from Eltham Hill School in south east London have successfully identified sounds in the Earth’s magnetic shield caused by a solar storm. The work was part of a Queen Mary University of London project which encouraged schools in London to take part in scientific research.Earth's magnetic shield, which protects us against harmful radiation from the Sun and more distant sources, is rife with a symphony of ultra-low frequency sounds. These waves are too low-pitch for us to hear but a researcher at Queen Mary has made satellite recordings of them audible by dramatically speeding up their playback.The study, published in the journal Space Weather, presents a novel approach to undertaking scientific research by making data audible for school students to explore by listening to it. The group of students from Eltham Hill School identified a series of waves whose pitch decreased over the course of several days. They found that this event occurred after a Coronal Mass Ejection or ‘solar storm’ caused a great disturbance to Earth’s space environment. The study shows that the waves were somewhat like the vibrations of a plucked guitar string which forms a distinct note, but applied to Earth’s magnetic field, while the changing pitch was due to the recovery process of our space environment following the storm. Events like these have rarely been discussed, but by taking advantage of the audible data’s sped up playback and the amazing abilities of the human ear, the study revealed many similar patterns present in the data showing them to be far more common than previously thought.Dr Martin Archer from Queen Mary’s School of Physics and Astronomy, space physicist and academic lead on the project, said: “The findings could transform the field, enabling more members of the public to contribute to research just by listening to data and finding things that scientists might have missed. We hope that this becomes more widespread since we are living in the age of ‘big data’.”Isobel Currie, one of the students from Eltham Hill School involved in the project, added: “It was truly amazing to hear how significant the event we found was and that it will be forming the basis of a proper scientific paper. We gained so much experience and developed many skills during our research that will be useful during our time at university, and it gave us a great insight into the work conducted at university level.” Disturbances to Earth’s magnetic shield like this pose risks to our everyday lives because they can damage technology like power grids, GPS and even passenger airlines. These waves are one way the energy that comes from solar storms can be transferred around Earth’s space environment.This study has highlighted that current methods have been missing some important and fairly common classes of waves and that new techniques may be able to help.Dr Archer said: “Making data audible is uncommon and when done so is typically used only by the researchers themselves. Involving the public in undertaking research, known as citizen science, tends to focus on crowdsourcing data or analysis unlike this more explorative method. However, the study shows that useful and unexpected scientific results can come from this combined approach.”The data was taken from the USA’s Geostationary Operational Environment Satellites which are operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Following the potential demonstrated in the paper, they will be making the full audible dataset publicly available.The researchers will now be looking to find out which disturbances of Earth’s magnetic shield lead to these decreasing pitch sounds and why, which will build up a better picture of what happens and hopefully improve the forecasting of space weather.
