Because sound is just vibrating air, space has no air to vibrate and therefore no sound. If you are sitting in a space ship and another space ship explodes, you would hear nothing. Exploding bombs, crashing asteroids, supernovas, and burning planets would similarly be silent in space.
The mission, which began just outside Bath and ended after a four-hour chase in a field a few miles south of Wolverhampton, carried a more serious purpose, too, as the payload also housed a sensor built by Cambridge scientists to measure atmospheric changes. The bespoke device not only measured carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide as it ascended, but also captured the concentrations of ozone as the payload screamed its way through the ozone layer. Disaster almost struck on the way back down though, when two of the device's three tracking systems failed as it returned to earth on a parachute, but it was eventually tracked down to a farmer's field by using Android's Find My Phone feature, which was installed on a phone left onboard to shoot video footage.
Konstantinos Banitas, Mr Gad's former lecturer at Brunel who originally inspired him to launch the balloon. At first the Find My Phone thing gave us a very big circle, and if it'd stayed like that we wouldn't have been able to find it. But as the minutes passed it started to read it more and more accurately—and then it pin-pointed it right here, in the middle of a field. The device had stopped screaming by the time it hit the ground, but ultimately it returned unscathed from its intrepid mission.
It's not known if the children have tidied their room yet. Smith, who first broadcast the results of the project on Tuesday evening. I think I've probably suffered irreparable hearing damage because of this. More from Astronomy and Astrophysics.
