NASA Actually Recorded Sound In Space, And It’s Absolutely Bone Chilling

While we see space as a visually mysterious environment and relish in all the amazing photographs of the planets, galaxies, and solar systems, we don’t pay a whole lot of attention to the audible aspect of space. As in sound! Wait a minute, is there even any sound in space? Technically, yes. There is sound as it exists in electromagnetic vibrations which pulsate in wavelengths.Wouldn’t it be cool to record what space actually sounds like? NASA thought so. They rigged up some instruments that would record these electromagnetic vibrations. These were then transformed into sounds which our ears can pick

THIS IS ACTUALLY QUITE TERRIFYING

The search for the original print of astronaut Anna Fisher from LIFE magazine in 1985. Such a great story and ongoing hunt to find the original picture. I love that Anna herself was contacted by a family friend who saw it on reddit, and was surprised at her enduring popularity.
