And --oh, look-- it's Saturn. Again.

Quote:
Saturn is a source of intense radio emissions that are generated along with the auroras of the planet's poles -- similar to Earth's northern and southern lights.

The eerie whistling, epic whooshing and warbling echoes collected by the probe's instruments sound as though they could have been lifted directly from '50s sci-fi classics like Plan 9 From Outer Space or Forbidden Planet.

I can't get into the NASA site (504 Gateway Timeout), but the recordings they have on the Wiredblog are freaky cool.

I swear, the more we look at that planet, the more I think it's the planetary equivalent of Wash.

Now we know the real truth. Saturn is starting up a synthesizer band. I wonder if they will do any Flock of Seagulls covers?

And I run
I run so far away
I need to get away

That's some crazy shit.
