Jovian Radio Bursts and Beam Sweeps


As of this writing jovian radio bursts and their ultimate origins are still a mystery to a large degree.


At certain moments, when Jupiter is in orbital proximity to planet Earth, jovian electro-magnetic "storm" emissions will sweep across the Earth. 
If we are outside when it is happening and Jupiter is in direct line of sight in the sky these bursts will actually hit us on the head!  Though we cannot feel nor hear
these bursts with our normal neurological sensitivities, ultrasensitive radios can detect them and make them audible and radiospectrographs can make them visible.

Below is a collection of radiospectrographs and audio specimens.
