What is the Radio Jove project?

Radio JOVE students and amateur scientists from around the world observe and analyze natural radio emissions of Jupiter, the Sun, and our galaxy using their own easy to consturct radio telescopes.

Can you hear Jupiter on AM radio?

Jupiter is a source of powerful bursts of natural radio waves that can produce exotic sounds when picked up on Earth using simple antennas and shortwave receivers. Even though human ears can’t hear the radio waves directly, they make an exciting listening experience when converted to audio signals by a receiver.

How can I listen to Jupiter?

Jupiter’s radio emissions may be heard from Earth on frequencies ranging from about 14 to 38 Mhz. I suggest you pick a frequency between 18 and 28 Mhz for the greatest likelihood of success. Below this range atmospheric refraction will usually hinder your ability to hear Jupiter.

What frequency should I listen to Jupiter?

What is lie to center of Jupiter?

At the very center of Jupiter is a small (15 Earth masses) rocky core, leftover from the icy dust particles that originally collected in the early solar nebula. A planet absorbs energy from the Sun in the form of light and converts the energy into heat.

What does a radio astronomer do?

Radio astronomers study emissions from gas giant planets, blasts from the hearts of galaxies, or even precisely ticking signals from a dying star. Today, radio astronomy is a major branch of astronomy and reveals otherwise-hidden characteristics of everything in the universe.

How far can radio telescopes see?

These specially-designed telescopes observe the longest wavelengths of light, ranging from 1 millimeter to over 10 meters long.

What are the dangers of radio waves?

RF radiation has lower energy than some other types of non-ionizing radiation, like visible light and infrared, but it has higher energy than extremely low-frequency (ELF) radiation. If RF radiation is absorbed by the body in large enough amounts, it can produce heat. This can lead to burns and body tissue damage.

What radio frequency is Jupiter?

Electrons spiraling in Jupiter’s magnetic field are thought to be the cause of the radio noise we hear. The decametric radio waves have frequencies between 10 and 40 MHz. These types of radio waves from Jupiter are never heard above 40 MHz. This seems to be the maximum frequency.
