“Our instruments listen to the Earth, measuring the tiny vibrations that have come from the ocean thousands of kilometers away.

They record magnetic fields that originated from the solar flares from the sun that resonate around the Earth. And they detect lightning strikes all across the globe that occur 200 times per second.”

— PROFESSOR GRAHAM HEINSON

How does the sun sound? The Stanford Experimental Physics Lab sonified data from the European Space Agency and NASA's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO). This humming sound captures the Sun’s natural vibrations and provides scientists with a concrete representation of its dynamic movements.

Did you know, the Bureau of Meteorology offers a space weather service to support the needs of defence, aviation, energy and resources, the space industry and the Australian community?
