The Sun Oscillates

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

Our Sun is not a static ball of gas; it constantly oscillates, with large patches vibrating in and out. This image shows one mode of solar oscillation, with blue indicating outward motion and red indicating inward motion. Helioseismology, the study of these vibrations, allows scientists to probe the Sun's interior, much like seismologists study Earth's interior using earthquakes. It reveals the dynamic nature of our star.
