Science Links

Here are a couple of interesting science links I've stumbled across in the last few days:
--"The Eerie Sounds of Saturn's Radio Emissions" (via Robot Wisdom Weblog)
This is an amazing recording of radio emissions from Saturn. The recording is at 22X real time and it sounds absolutely phenomenal. Here's the link:

--"Butterfly Unlocks Evolution Secret" (via Slashdot)
A new discovery about speciation, in which it was observed that closely related butterfly species living in close proximity to each other displayed "unusually distinct" wing markings. When not in the same geographical area, closely related butterflies have very similar markings.

Very cool stuff, and you can read about it here:
