Join us in this episode of Space Café Podcast as Markus Mooslechner talks with University Toulouse astrophysicist Dr Naomi Murdoch about the fascinating sonic environment of Mars. As a planetary scientist and space engineer, Murdoch provides an in-depth look at the sounds recorded by the Perseverance rover and what they tell us about the Red Planet. From the first audio recordings on Mars to the insights gained about Martian wind and dust devils, Murdoch's discussion offers a profound understanding of Mars' unique acoustic landscape.

3 Memorable Quotes by Naomi Murdoch:

"Capturing the sounds of Mars is like opening a new window onto the Red Planet, one that lets us hear the Martian atmosphere in a way we've never experienced before."
"The Martian environment presents a symphony of sounds that are not just noise but valuable data that teaches us about the planet's atmosphere and surface."
"Listening to the dust devils on Mars with our microphone was a stroke of luck, offering us a real-time auditory experience of these intriguing atmospheric phenomena."
