When we say the discovery of Jupiter’s “voice”, it corresponds to the discovery that the planet Jupiter is a strong source of radio waves. This discovery was made in Washington D. C.

in the 1950s. In 1912, two scientists from the Carnegie Institution โ€“ Bernard F.

Burke and Kenneth Lynn Franklin โ€“ when the idea of โ€‹โ€‹using radio for astronomical research was still relatively new. By the time Burke and Franklin got together for their work, astronomers were aware of the fact that many sources in the sky emitted radio waves.

With the receiver in the rural 96-acre Mills Cross Field near Washington, the duo mapped the northern sky using their radio antenna array.
