Today we’re debunking some classic space myths. Hop on the next space shuttle and let’s get to the bottom of these tales once and for all! Picture this: you’re floating weightlessly in space, sipping on a cup of delicious hot chocolate, when a peculiar thought pops into your head. Can you scream in outer space? And if yes, would anyone hear that scream? If you’ve watched the movie “Alien”, then you know the answer to this one. You can’t hear sounds in outer space. It’s not that sounds don’t exist. It’s just that you can’t hear them. There’s no one better to clarify this myth than Chris Hadfield. He’s been on a couple of spacewalks during his life as an astronaut. And once you’re out there in the darkness of space, you can’t hear anything. All you hear is silence. Complete silence. But hey, just around the corner is a massive ball of explosion, aka, the Sun. We just can’t hear the explosions happening because there’s no medium for sound to travel through. It would be quite uncomfortable for an astronaut, though, if they could hear all the noises going on in outer space. Learn more about your ad choices.
