Don Gurnett, the principal investigator for the Radio and Plasma Wave Science instrument on NASA's Cassini spacecraft, spent decades turning the electromagnetic noise of the outer planets into something a human ear could parse. The Saturn file -- a translation of radio emissions associated with the planet's auroras -- sounds less like a planet than like a haunted choir. Rising whistles. Descending moans. A texture that anyone who has watched a horror film recognizes instantly, even though no one designed it to sound that way. Read more

Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division Harmeet K. Dhillon and several prosecutors in the division filed a motion to withdraw a document filed in error in New Hampshire federal court.
