Boo! from Spitzer  SpaceTelescope

In addition to finding a galactic ghoul in time for Halloween, NASA spacecraft also recorded some very spooky sounds. They converted some scientific studies into audio files that won't sound like anything else on your block this Halloween.

Spice up your holiday with these out-of-this-world special audio effects  that NASA describes in this bone-chilling way:  

Hear intriguing radio waves that NASA's Cassini spacecraft collected near Jupiter in January 2001.
Listen closely to hear ghostly planetary plasma waves collected by NASA's Voyager 2.
If you're squeamish, you may not want to listen to the strange whistle of ultra-cold liquid helium-3 that changes volume relative to the North Pole and Earth's rotation.
And beware the weird radio emissions Galileo gathered from Jupiter's largest moon, Ganymede.

Note: you'll need Windows Media or RealPlayer to enjoy the space spook tour.
