Is There Sound in Space?

The video explains that sound cannot travel through the vacuum of space due to the lack of a medium for sound waves. However, electromagnetic waves can travel through space and are used by scientists to 'listen' to the universe. The video discusses how NASA's Voyager 1 and the Rosetta spacecraft have detected waves in space, which can be interpreted as sound. These findings help scientists understand the density of interstellar plasma and other phenomena. The video concludes with a call to support SciShow on Patreon.
