Sounds of the Sun

The video explores the fascinating concept of solar vibrations, which are converted into audible sounds by scientists. These vibrations allow us to peer inside the sun, revealing its complex internal motions and the generation of magnetic fields. These fields lead to phenomena like sunspots and solar flares, collectively known as space weather. The video also highlights the Solarium art installation at NASA Goddard, which immerses visitors in the dynamic imagery and sounds of the sun, showcasing the collaboration between NASA and the European Space Agency.
