Guessing Hans Zimmer had a hand in composing this…

Although Christopher Nolan doesn’t have an Interstellar sequel on the horizon (that we know of), it looks like we’re still getting some classic throwbacks to the 2014 film, with a bunch of European scientists managing to record the first ever sounds of Earth’s magnetic field.

Clocking in at just over five minutes long, the clip features plenty of deep clattering, rumbles and just about everything you’d expect from a seismic force in space. The wizards behind it went to pretty great lengths to get it to our earholes as well, with the scientists converting the magnetic signals from the field to create sonic representation of its core. It comes following a recent recording of a black hole near our solar system, which (no surprises here), is equally as fear-inducing.

You might not want to hear the recording again any time soon, but scientists in Denmark are making sure they’re not forgotten, putting up 30 loudspeakers that will play the magnetic field’s “sounds” three times a day until October 30, explaining that, “[We’ve] set [the installation] up so that each speaker represents a different location on Earth and demonstrates how our magnetic field has fluctuated over the last 100,000 years.”

I guess it’s a form of sci-fi ASMR if there ever was one. Check out the recording below.
