- Like the ocean, the interstellar medium is full of turbulent waves. The largest come from our galaxy’s rotation, as space smears against itself and sets forth undulations tens of light-years across. Smaller (though still gigantic) waves rush from supernova blasts, stretching billions of miles from crest to crest.

Gravitational waves stretch and compress space itself. Human beings have no sensory organ attuned to these waves. Instead, we have Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatories (LIGOs).
Jul 30, 2018 · NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), which launched in April 2018, may observe sound waves in up to one million red giants — the massive, evolved stars that represent what our Sun will look like in about 5 billion years.
British Astronaut, Tim Peake, and scientists, Fran Scott, explore what sound and light waves tell us about space in an interactive guide for school students.
Nov 9, 2022 · The black hole sonification translates data on sound waves travelling through space — created by the black hole’s impact on the hot gas that surrounds it — into the range of human hearing.
Mar 21, 2022 · While ground-based radio telescopes listen in on signals originating vast distances away, sensors fitted to interplanetary spacecraft can "hear" radio waves — and other types of signal — in situ.
Dec 11, 2018 · Plasma waves lace the local space environment around Earth, where they toss magnetic fields to and fro. The rhythmic cacophony generated by these waves may fall deaf to our ears, but NASA’s Van Allen Probes were designed specifically to listen for them.
Jan 17, 2024 · To understand why there’s no sound in space, first consider how sound works. Sound is a wave of energy that moves through a solid, a liquid or a gas. Sound is a compression wave. The energy ...
