In this series of photographs in Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguardia we can contemplate the sunrise, with some mist and calm sea, but with the sun pressing as it rises more, from the breakwater of the T of Fuengirola.
We observe the attraction that the sun generates in us, but, as shown in one of the snapshots, we even ask ourselves: Does it emit sounds? What is its music, its melody?
Actually, scientists have already answered this question. You have already wondered what we would hear if we were floating in the vicinity of the king sun.
After painstaking data collection by NASA’s Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO), heliophysicist Alex Kosovichev gathered information about the star over 40 days.
This researcher selected the most significant data, removed ambient noise and cleaned up the audio track, and made adjustments to make it audible to the human ear. The result was amazing and even more appreciable if it was listened to with headphones, like the ones in the main photograph of this report.
Listening to the phenomena produced in the solar atmosphere helps us to better understand the sun. That is what they also did, for example, for more than 20 years a group of researchers from the European Space Agency (ESA) and NASA’s Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO). On the NASA website you can listen to the sound of the sun.
