Meteosat Third Generation Sounder-1 (MTG-S1) is the second satellite launch in the MTG constellation and is equipped with the Infrared Sounder instrument. It also carries the Copernicus Sentinel-4 mission, which monitors air quality with its ultraviolet, visible, near-infrared light (UVN) spectrometer.

Listen to the ESA/JAXA BepiColombo spacecraft as it flew past Mercury on 8 January 2025. This sixth and final flyby used the little planet's gravity to steer the spacecraft on course for entering orbit around Mercury in 2026.

What you can hear in the sonification soundtrack of this video are real spacecraft vibrations measured by the Italian Spring Accelerometer (ISA) instrument. The accelerometer data have been shifted in frequency to make them audible to human ears – one hour of measurements have been sped up to around one minute of sound.

ESA's Euclid space telescope is creating the largest 3D-map ever made of our Universe, to study the most mysterious cosmic components: dark matter and dark energy. While scanning the sky, Euclid snapped a breathtaking image of Messier 78, a vibrant nursery of star formation.

This audio is a sonification of the image, where the twinkling sounds represent the galaxies and stars in the frame. The steady undertone rising and falling in the background corresponds to the swathes of interstellar dust in the image.

The ESA-led Solar Orbiter mission has been keeping a close eye on the Sun for more than three years, witnessing it becoming increasingly active as it approaches the peak in the 11-year solar cycle. This audio is a sonification based on the detected flares and the spacecraft's distance to the Sun.
