The planet Jupiter is known to\u00a0emit bursts of noise via natural \u2018radio lasers\u2019 powered partly by the planets interaction with the electrically conductive gases emitted by Io, one of the the planets\u00a0moons. When Jupiter is high in the sky and the Earth passes through one of these radio lasers the noise bursts can be received on Earth\u00a0quite easily with an appropriate antenna<\/p>\n<p>In his video\u00a0<a class=\"g-hovercard yt-uix-sessionlink spf-link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCpq8pCGK0yY9yo1aAFqeCWg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-sessionlink=\"itct=CDQQ4TkiEwjHn_XNs8LUAhXDQVgKHRMWAdco-B0\" data-ytid=\"UCpq8pCGK0yY9yo1aAFqeCWg\">MaskitolSAE<\/a>\u00a0shows the 10 MHz of waterfall and\u00a0audio from some Jupiter noise bursts received with his SDRplay RSP1 at 22119 kHz. According to the YouTube description, it appears that he is using the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ukrainian_T-shaped_Radio_telescope,_second_modification\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">UTR-2 radio telescope<\/a>\u00a0which is a large Ukrainian radio telescope installation that consists of an array of 2040 dipoles. A professional radio telescope installation is not required to receive the Jupiter bursts (a backyard dipole tuned to ~20 MHz will work), but the professional radio telescope does get some really nice strong bursts as seen in the video.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"625\" height=\"352\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/f9bWY-HgcbI?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/f9bWY-HgcbI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to view on YouTube.<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rtl-sdr.com\/receiving-jupiter-noise-bursts-with-an-sdrplay-rsp1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to read at RTL-SDR.com.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>As Carl mentions above, you do not need a professional radio telescope to receive Jupiter noise bursts, a dipole will do.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute (PARI) <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pari.edu\/research\/pari-instruments-astronomy\/solar-astronomy-radio-jove-antenna\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">has a dedicated Jupiter receiver<\/a>&#8211;a simple SDR kit called the <a href=\"https:\/\/radiojove.gsfc.nasa.gov\/telescope\/rj_receivers.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Radio JOVE Receiver which is promoted by NASA<\/a>. While PARI has the resources to install any number of antennas, PARI uses two simple dipoles which are mounted only a few feet off the ground as their radio telescope.
