Moon - Close Up View - Real Sound. HD
Our Universe is not silent..
Although space is a vacuum, that does not mean there is no sound in it.
Yes, space is a vacuum - so it generally doesn't carry sound waves like air does here on Earth. However, some sounds do exist in outer space, we just can't hear them.
