In The Music of the Sun, renowned academic William J. Chaplin
unveils numerous solar secrets through the enlightening new science
of helioseismology. The Sun, earth's nearest star, is of vital
importance not only to our existence, but to our general
understanding of astronomy. It acts as an exotic nearby laboratory
in which physics can be studied under extreme conditions.
Furthermore, helioseismology gives us an unprecedented window into
the Sun's deep interior. Like a musical instrument, trapped sound
waves in the Sun's interior cause vibrations in its exterior, which
pulsations give us invaluable new insight into climate change,
particle physics and the relationship between the Sun and the
Earth.
