Saturn And 'Forbidden Planet' Movie Share Music

High resolution observations of Saturn's radio emissions have just been made public by NASA; these observations were made with the radio and plasma wave instrument aboard the Cassini spacecraft.
The short sound sample released on NASA's website was compressed, so the twenty-seven minute recording plays back in just seventy-three seconds. The frequencies of these emissions are outside the human audio frequency range and have been shifted downward by a factor of 44 (see diagram at right).
Take a moment to go to NASA's Saturn radio emissions page; select the "click here" link at the start of the article on their page to listen to the short sound clip.
Now, listen to the first few moments of this short excerpt from the classic 1956 science fiction movie Forbidden Planet (click here.). The similarities are startling.
The soundtrack for the movie was created by Louis and Bebe Barron. The film represents the first instance in which a movie was scored entirely with electronic music. Louis Barron constructed electronic circuits that generated the sounds; most of the tonalities were generated using a ring modulator. In creating the electronic circuits, Barron used the equations in Norbert Weiner's 1948 book Cybernetics: Or, Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine.

If you enjoy poster art, you might want to compare the classic 1956 poster art of Forbidden Planet with NASA's cutting edge Sounds from Saturn poster - click here.

Re: Actual sound of Saturn - eeery, crazy sounds
Saturn comes back around
to show you everything
Lets you choose what you will
not see and then
Drags you down like a stone
or lifts you up again
Spits you out like a child, light and innocent.

In astrology Saturn is the planet of spiritual death. In it's circuit it will affects humans to make a change in their life, or drag them further down on a destructive path.
I do believe this is true in a sense. Pluto is my planet (scorpio), the planet of psychology and enlightenment, and I swear I have felt the effects of that this, especially this month. I've felt a fuzz of happiness/energy. I think clearer and in broader terms.
Of course, I also think you have to believe in it to really sense it. It's not like a drug.
So I find these news very interesting indeed.

Wow that is really creepy, gave me shivers. Extra shivers as I'm freezing anyway.
I want to know what my planet is.
It's the sun apparently in case anyone was dying to know 
Re: Actual sound of Saturn - eeery, crazy sounds
Cool, it sounds like a re-mix of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond"
