Music of the sun recorded by scientists

A group of astronomers at Sheffield University in U.K. have just recorded the music of the sun for the first time. According to the article, the shining circle of light seen round the sun is not only that. Rather, it’s filled with coronal loops which vibrate from side to side as what happens when you play a guitar. Using satellite, scientists managed to change the images of the coronal loops to sounds. For that reason it´s heard a kind of melody.
Professor Robertus von Fáy-Siebenbürgen of Sheffield University said that this naturally music not only is beautiful but could also help scientists who are researching on the sun´s functions. (Taken from: www.telegraph.co.uk)
