NASA: Great! The sun has sound and is heard like that | Photo 1 of 6 | Science

Using data obtained from NASA's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO), the Stanford Experimental Physics Laboratory has succeeded in creating a series of sounds of our [19659002] Sol .

These buzzes are the product of the capture, for more than 20 years, of vibrations at different frequencies that the dynamic movement of the Sun's atmosphere produces continuously.

"The waves travel and bounce inside the Sun, and if your eyes were sensitive enough, you could see that," said Alex Young, deputy director of science of the Heliophysical Sciences Division at Goddard Space Flight Center. NASA

Our star not only emits sound, but it is very noisy. The problem is that space is not the most optimal way for its waves to reach Earth with more force. This is why observatories like SOHO are used.

This sound is important to scientists because it represents a concrete way of studying the inside of our star. "The beating of our star allows scientists to look inward, revealing huge rivers of solar material that circulate, and we have no easy way of looking inside." Sun. We do not have a microscope to get close to the sun allows us to see its interior, "says Young.

These vibrations allow scientists to study a range of complex movements in the Sun, from solar flares to ejections of coronal mbades, which can not be seen with the naked eye.
