The Music Of The Spheres! Newslink

The Sun makes music!

For the first time, astronomers have found that the magnetic field in the outer atmosphere of the Sun produces eerie musical harmonies – a discovery that could provide new ways of understanding and predicting solar flares before they happen.

Scientists at the University of Sheffield found that huge magnetic loops that have been observed coiling away from the outer layer of the Sun’s atmosphere – known as coronal loops – vibrate like strings on a musical instrument.

In other cases they behave more like sound waves as they travel through a wind instrument.

Presumably, all other stars do, too.

I’d like to get this on CD.
