No, the aether does not pervade space. In deep space (intergalactic space) there is a near perfect vacuum. Perhaps only an atom or two of hydrogen float around here in a given volume of emptiness. And a bit of light will be passing through. There is also that pervasive bit of cosmic background microwave radiation. It's pretty much everywhere.
In ancient Greece, it was postulated that the aether was the stuff up above the clouds and the sky. Later on when early investigators were looking into what light was, it was suspected to be a wave of some kind. It was also assumed that it had to have a medium through which to travel. The aether was then called the luminiferous aether, and it was thought that through this light could move. But light doesn't need a medium to travel in. When that was finally discovered, the need for the aether vanished. It was as if it never existed.

What was space believed to be filled with?
Space was originally believed to be filled with aether, a hypothetical substance thought to permeate the universe and serve as a medium for the propagation of light and other electromagnetic waves. However, experiments such as the Michelson-Morley experiment in the late 19th century failed to detect the presence of aether, leading to the abandonment of this concept in favor of the notion of space being a vacuum.
In greek mythology what are the upper regions of the atmosphere called.?
In Greek mythology, the upper regions of the atmosphere are called the "Aether" or "Ether." It was considered the pure essence that the gods breathed, separate from the air breathed by mortals on earth. The Aether is associated with light and the heavens.

How do you know that electromagnetic wave are not compression wave?
If they were they would not travel through a vacuum because there would be nothing to compress. But they do travel through vacuums, so they can't be compression waves. More detail... The above does not exclude a medium that can exist in a vacuum For EM waves to be a compression wave, it must have some medium. For many years, the ether/aether was considered to be the medium, but the Michelson-Morley experiment failed to show any effect consistent with ether/aether, and the concept is now considered invalied. So, since the ether/aether cannot be detected, EM waves have no medium, so EM waves are not compression waves.
Where was the planet Neptune born or discovered?
Discovered on September 23, 1846, by John Couch Adams. Neptune was the first planet found by mathematical prediction rather than by observation. Unexpected changes in the orbit of Uranus led astronomers to deduce that its orbit was subject to gravitational perturbation by an unknown planet. Neptune was subsequently found within a degree of its predicted position.Adams worked on his calculations at Cambridge and his home in Cornwall UK. Neptune was discovered on September 23, 1846 by Johann Gottfried Galle, of the Berlin Observatory, and Louis d'Arrest, an astronomy student, through mathematical predictions made by Urbain Jean Joseph Le Verrier
Is there aether in space and what is its meaning?
There is aether in space. The aether transports the electromagnetic field and defines space. The aether is reflected in Planck's Constant and the space resistance z=375 Ohms=W/Q and Planck's Constant h=WQ. W = 50E-180 Webers(Voltsecond) and Q = 4/3 E-18 Coulombs.
Aether is made of what aprticles?
Aether is a concept that was historically believed to be a medium that filled all of space and allowed the transmission of light and other electromagnetic waves. However, the existence of aether particles has been discredited by modern physics theories such as the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics.
