There are two speeds of sound on the planet Mars.

If we will put the microphone in a chamber and there is similar gas pressure and gas mixture with the atmosphere of the planet Mars, we could make fundamental acoustic sensors. That system makes it easier to separate low- and high-pritch acoustic waves from each other. These kinds of sensors can use to detect seismic sounds. And it can also separate the sources of the sounds. 

There would be no music on planet Mars. The reason for that is this. Low-pritch and high-pritch sound waves travel at two different speeds. 

On ScitechDaily, the speed of sound on planet Mars is described like this. "On Mars-planet, low-pitched sounds travel at about 240 meters per second, while higher-pitched sounds move at 250 meters per second". But what would somebody make with the speed of sound on another planet? 

The fact is that this kind of information can be useful when researchers are making sensors that mission is to separate different sound sources from each other. In that kind of system, the microphones will be in a chamber where is similar gas pressure and gas mixture that is in the atmosphere of planet Mars. 

And that gas mixture will make it possible to separate the low- and high pitched sounds from each other. That thing can make it possible to create new types of acoustic analysis systems. Those systems can use to analyze the type of things that are making the sound.

A new model suggests the Milky Way's supermassive black hole sacrifices its own energy to boost cosmic rays.

“In this artist’s conception, the black hole at the center of our galaxy is surrounded by a hot disk of accreting material. Blue lines trace...
