Every Monday Science Trek releases a new video that introduces children to math, science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) career potentials in a fun, informative way.[MUSIC] Joan Cartan-Hansen, Host: So what does Mars sound like?
The Insight lander recorded some unexpected sounds when it started some scientific experiments.
The air pressure sensor and the seismometer were waiting to be put on the ground when they recorded the sounds of the wind on Mars.
Scientists had to raise the sound two octaves so we Earth-bound humans could hear it.
So, this is what the wind on Mars sounds like.
[rumble of Mars wind] Pretty cool, huh.
