Listen: NASA releases first recording of laser hitting rocks on Mars

Dubai - NASA’s Perseverance records first sound of laser strikes, wind on Mars

Any musician — or student of music — will be familiar with the sound of a click, which is used to keep timing with musical scores.

The first-ever recording of a laser hitting a rock on Mars — recently released by NASA — sounds just like that: a rhythmic click used to practice or record music.

The repeated ‘click, click, click’ sounds were recorded as NASA's Perseverance rover zapped a rock on the Red Planet with a laser and filmed it on its SuperCam instrument on Wednesday.
