True!
A rover called Perseverance, captured these sound recordings on which planet?
A. The moon
B. Mars
C. Uranus
B. Mars
The SuperCam has picked up the clicking sounds of Perseverance’s laser instrument as it shoots nearby rocks, as well as the whir of spinning rotors on Ingenuity, a small helicopter that is still conducting flights on Mars a year after it became the first powered aircraft ever to fly on another planet. The EDL microphone has captured the sounds of the Martian wind, and the noise made by Perseverance’s Gaseous Dust Removal Tool as it blows detritus off of rocks so that the rover can study them.

True or False?
Hearing is the sense most directly linked to memory
False!
Though it has been proven that music has the ability to evoke memories very directly, the sense of smell is actually the most closely linked with memory. This is because the olfactory bulb (which processes smell) is directly connected to the limbic system in the brain, which is responsible for emotions and memory formation.
B. Bearded Seal
Is the speed of sound on Mars slower or faster than the speed of sound on earth?
Slower
The atmosphere on Mars is 100 times thinner than on Earth. Sound travels at roughly 550 miles per hour there, compared to a speed of 767 miles per hour on Earth.
*Fun topic: Martian speeds (only been observed on Mars)

Music can strengthen the immune system by triggering the production of gamma globulin A and killer cells.
True!
A. Orangutan
True! Gravitational waves sent out from a pair of colliding black holes have been converted to sound waves.
In the first two runs of the animation, the sound-wave frequencies exactly match the frequencies of the gravitational waves. The second two runs of the animation play the sounds again at higher frequencies that better fit the human hearing range. The animation ends by playing the original frequencies again twice.
