On December 21 1968, NASA launched its Apollo 8 mission
in which three astronauts named Frank Borman, Jim Lovell & William Anders became
the first humans to leave low Earth orbit, reach moon, orbit it and come back
to Earth.
These three people became the first humans to enter
deep space, see the far
side of the Moon and see entire Earth at once from outside.

Space is a vacuum and sound needs a medium to
travel. However, the sounds that stars and plants produce are present in space
in form of radio
emissions.
Some of NASA’s spacecrafts and orbiters have
instruments that can capture these radio emissions and transfer them to Earth,
where scientists convert them to sounds.
Here are some of the sounds that NASA captured from
space:
1: Sound of Earth

On February 14, 1990 spacecraft Voyager 1
reached the end of our planetary neighbourhood. Astronomer Carl Sagan
convinced NASA
to turn Voyager 1’s camera towards Earth for 1 last time and take a picture of
Earth from 6.4 billion kilometers (4 billion miles) away. This is the picture
it took:
The Pale Blue Dot Image by Voyager 1 spacecraft, upon Carl Sagan’s request.
In his book, “Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in
Space”, astronomer Carl Sagan wrote this about Earth:
“Look again at that dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, e ..read more

The exact moment when Sun would disappear, we on
Earth would have no idea at all. We won’t see or feel anything weird.
The light from Sun would still shine on us as it
takes light 8 minutes and 23 seconds to reach Earth, so we’d keep receiving the
light that Sun emitted before it vanished.
After 8 minutes however, as the Sun suddenly
disappears there would be darkness leading to fear, confusion and panic all
over the Earth.
Since gravitational waves travel at the same speed as light therefore, for 8 minutes and 23 seconds after Sun vanish Earth would continue to move around the spot w ..read more

There is no hard point where space begins and
Earth’s atmosphere ends.
The atmosphere just gets lighter and lighter as we
move upwards.
One cubic meter of air at sea level contains around
1.2 kilograms of air.
As we move upwards the amount of air molecules in
the atmosphere decreases.
At the height of 9000 meters, a little over Mt.
Everest, one cubic meter area only contains 0.47 kilograms of air molecules in
it.
As we go higher, the amount of air molecules
decreases more and ultimately we reach a point where there are almost no air
molecules at all.
100 km or 100,000 met ..read more
