Japan Quake Map. Christchurch Quake Map. ATLAS Experiment. WAVE the theory of everything ! The Singing Sun. Have you ever wondered what the Sun would sound like if you could hear it?

The Singing Sun

Our Sun lies 93,000,000 miles away, surrounded by the vacuum of space. Sound won't travel through space, of course. But with the right instrument, scientists can "hear" pulsations from the Sun. The entire Sun vibrates from a complex pattern of acoustical waves, much like a bell. If your eyes were sharp enough, you could see a bell's surface jiggle in complex patterns as the waves bounced around within it.
