      Wow, lots of questions 🙂
      – Yes a black hole IS a gravitational singularity where mass is infinite – as far as our understanding of it is correct
      – Well, sorry to say, that sound does not much have a say in space. Because there is no air, sound cannot travel…
      – As you may now, recently 5 of the large planets were aligned (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn). The alignment is very much down to the orbits of each planet and occur very rarely. On May 6, 2492, all 8 planets and Pluto will be pretty much “aligned”. But since they are in slightly different inclinations so this is as close as you could get.
