... Jupiter's big moon Ganymede is not only the size of a planet -- it sounds like one too, as heard in audio recordings made from data returned by NASA's Galileo spacecraft released today. ... Characterized by a soaring whistle and hissing static, Ganymede's song reveals that the Solar System's largest moon is also the only one known to possess a planet-like, self-generated magnetic cocoon called a magnetosphere , which shields the moon from the magnetic influence of its giant parent body, Jupiter. ...

A comparison of the temporal profiles and spectra for the microwave and hard x-ray emission (КА HESSI and FERMI data), as well as the simulations of gyrosynchrotron emission, show that the nature of these sub-second oscillations in weak flares is determined by a common population of electrons and a common high-temperature source of emission with the temperature greater than 30 MK. ...
