Sound Of The Sun

Like listening to a heartbeat, scientists called helioseismologists are listening to the sound of the Sun to learn about its temperature, chemical makeup, and motions.


An instrument aboard NASA's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) watches the movements of the surface of the Sun to reconstruct the sound.


Each pitch corresponds with a particular part of the Sun, allowing for various measurements and studies.



Note: Wait till 1:44 seconds of clip to hear 3 seconds of sun sound
