CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Twin spacecraft have captured the clearest sounds yet from Earth's radiation belts — and they mimic the chirping of birds.
ASA's Van Allen Probes have been exploring the hostile radiation belts surrounding Earth for just three months. But already, they've collected measurements of high-energy particles and radio waves in unprecedented detail.

I love this!
As a momma to two lovely parrots I adore the idea that the blessed mother speaks like a bird. I am also confirmed in the fact that over the past few days I have been hearing chirps in my ear that i thought sounded a bit like morse code, but upon review it could be the delicate sound of baby birds...it seems to ramp up closer to night and is less insistent in the morning. I thought it was in my head, which would be fine, but after putting my ear plugs in at night (my baby snores LOL) I can't hear it so it is definitely an outside sound...AWESOME!
