Things You Were Lied to About Space..... Content Warning.
These misconceptions often stem from misinformation, misunderstandings, or sensationalism. Here are a few examples: Sound in space: No, you cannot hear any sounds in near-empty regions of space. Sound travels through the vibration of atoms and molecules in a medium (such as air or water). In space, where there is no air, sound has no way to travel.In movies and popular media, space is often depicted as being silent, with no sound. However, this is not entirely accurate. Sound waves require a medium to travel through, and since space is mostly a vacuum, traditional sound as we experience it on Earth cannot be transmitted. However, there are other forms of electromagnetic waves that can be "converted" into sound, and space is filled with various cosmic events that produce radio waves, which can be translated into audio.
