Wissenschaftler nehmen Sonnengeräusche auf

Die Überschrift ist nicht ganz exakt, mir ist aber gerade nichts besseres eingefallen: Was sich da im Video ein bisschen anhört, wie ein THX-Demo im Kino, das über kaputte Boxen läuft, sind die Schwingungen des Magnetfelds der Sonne, das Astronomen der Uni Sheffield in Töne übersetzt haben:
"Astronomers at the University of Sheffield have managed to record for the first time the eerie musical harmonies produced by the magnetic field in the outer atmosphere of the sun. They found that huge magnetic loops that have been observed coiling away from the outer layer of the sun's atmosphere, known as coronal loops, vibrate like strings on a musical instrument. In other cases they behave more like soundwaves as they travel through a wind instrument. Using satellite images of these loops, which can be over 60,000 miles long, the scientists were able to recreate the sound by turning the visible vibrations into noises and speeding up the frequency so it is audible to the human ear ..."
