How Scientists "Listen" to Space
Though there is no sound in space, scientists have found ways to "hear" the universe by converting electromagnetic waves, plasma vibrations, and radio signals into sound. Instruments like radio telescopes pick up signals emitted by distant stars, galaxies, and other cosmic phenomena. These signals are often turned into audible sound waves, allowing scientists to study the interactions and activities occurring light-years away. For example, NASA has recorded "sounds" from the magnetic fields of planets, solar winds, and even black holes, giving us a unique way to explore the mysteries of space without sound. Shutdown123
