Space Shuttle infrasound (VIDEO) American Geophysical Union This video is under embargo. Please login to access this video.

The infrasound has been sped up by 250 times into the range humans can hear. Because the rocket traveled faster than sound it produced, the station registered the descent and splashdown of the boosters in ocean between Bermuda and the Florida coast before the roar of the takeoff. The top panel shows how the direction of the sound shifts as the rocket passed Bermuda, and gives clues to the different launch phases.
