Is there sound in space? Yes! and it's very eerie! The universe is full of spectacular places, and they're certainly not silent. Space is actually filled with all kinds of different waves that we cannot see or hear, but our powerful telescopes and spacecraft can. By converting this data into sound, using a process called sonification, we can experience the universe in a whole new way. In this video, you will listen to the sound of the early universe, just moments after the big bang, a supermassive black hole, the violent wind from a star, and the current most common type of exoplanet discovered throughout the galaxy. Finally, we will listen to the space between the stars, the lonely interstellar medium. So what does the universe sound like?
