The correct answer is:
**light waves, but not sound waves**
Sound waves require a medium (like air or water) to travel through, and since space is a vacuum, sound cannot propagate through it. However, light waves (electromagnetic waves) can travel through the vacuum of space and can be observed on Earth.
