Nobody ever said anything about singing, though. A NASA spacecraft has just beamed back a beautiful song sung by our own planet.

“It’s called chorus,” explains Craig Kletzing of the University of Iowa. “This is one of the clearest examples we’ve ever heard.” (Play the audio)

very interesting - reminds me of Star Trek IV (or whatever one had the whales).

Have you ever noticed that for sounds of the unusual do have a tendency to sound like whale song?

I think they had it right back in Startrek IV... We are in big trouble! :lol:
