Alex Young, Associate Director for Science in the Heliophysics Science Division at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, explains how scientists have converted the vibrations inside the sun into sound that we can hear. By analyzing these sounds, scientists can study the sun's internal movements and better understand its layers and complexity. This knowledge helps us comprehend the generation of magnetic fields, sunspots, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections, collectively known as space weather. The NASA Goddard Visitor Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, showcases an immersive art installation called Solarium, which provides a visual and auditory experience of the sun. The sonification of the sun's data was done by the Stanford Experimental Physics Lab, using information from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, a collaboration between the European Space Agency and NASA.
