      A sleek black dress with no sleeves and a diamand necklace! Or do you mean the sound? 😮

      On Earth? Probably an asteroid impact.. Large volcanic eruptions can make a large bang – the eruption of Krakatoa was heard a few thousand kilometres away, and people are now setting up a global network to measure ‘infrasound’ (low frequency sound waves) from nuclear explosions (bomb tests), volcanoes, lightning and earthquakes.

      The big bang, I assume.
