    Abstract:
    The chapter explores the human desire to experience the past (in the most radical sense of temporal distance, the birth of our universe) through sound. More specifically, it discusses the case of the so called “singing comet”, a comet with the name 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (named after its two Soviet astronomers and discoverers). It was monitored by the space shuttle Rosetta and its lander Philae operated by the European Space Agency (ESA) until December 2015 when the mission was completed. Through a comparison between a “recording” made of the comet’s sound and 19th century audio ethnography, the role of recorded sound as material in the production of historical imagination is analysed.
