You must listen to this.  Who could have imagined that we could listen to this?
This just amazed me - listen to the SOUND of space dust hitting the spaceship Cassini.
Can you imagine that we can listen to this?  - something thousands of light years away, in between the rings of Saturn!
From NASA:
" When Cassini reached Saturn On June 30th, it dashed through a gap in Saturn's rings, twice. 
One of onboard science instruments recorded a flurry of ring-dust harmlessly striking the spacecraft. Read the FULL STORY and listen to these sounds -- like "hail hitting a tin roof." "
Doesn't this just give you goosebumps?

Saturn is 80 light minutes away - about 10 times the distance from Earth to the Sun.
