IHY OBSERVATORY OF THE WEEK


GONG

Helioseismology utilizes waves that propagate throughout the Sun to measure, for the first time, the invisible internal structure and dynamics of a star. The Global Oscillation Network Group (GONG) observes the Sun at locations around the world, providing sensitive measurements of the Sun's oscillations. This international network has provided vital clues about the Sun's interior, which is the origin of the Sun's warm as well as the Sun's variability.

IHY ACTIVITY OF THE WEEK


Solar Music

The sun is filled with sound, and we can learn about its insides by studying this sound. In fact, this is the ONLY way we can learn about its inside because the light we see from the sun comes only from its outside. You can learn how we study the interior of the Sun, using Helioseismology, by conducting your own experiments.
