Song of the Sun

All sounds have structure when manifest on a membrane. By making the sonic signature of a star visible on the surface of water the geometry reveals aspects of the processes at work within the star. Stanford University, in collaboration with the ESA and NASA, are studying the physics of the Sun both deep within its core and in its outer corona and solar wind regions, via the SOHO spacecraft data. SOHO, which stands for "Solar and Heliospheric Observatory," was built in Europe by a team led by prime contractor Matra Marconi Space under overall management by ESA and was launched on December 2, 1995. The twelve instruments on board were provided by European and American scientists. NASA was responsible for the launch and is now responsible for mission operations. Large radio dishes around the world, which form NASA's Deep Space Network, are used for data downlink and commanding. Mission control is based at Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland. The Stanford web site carries the full story together with some of the sounds captured by the SOHO spacecraft:

The CymaScope team made visible part of SOHO’s “Song of the Sun” revealing 12-fold and 18-fold antinodal structures.
