a complex pattern of acoustical waves, much like a bell.
If your eyes were sharp enough, you could see a bell's surface
jiggle in complex patterns as the waves bounced around within it.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://solar-center.stanford.edu/singing/singing.html">The Sun's acoustical waves bounce from
one side of the Sun to the other in about two hours, causing 
the Sun's surface to oscillate, or wiggle up and down.
Because these sound waves travel underneath the Sun's surface, 
they are influenced by conditions inside the Sun.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://solar-center.stanford.edu/singing/singing.html">To be able to hear them,
the scientists sped up the waves 42,000 times -- and
compressed 40 days of vibrations into
a few seconds.
What you'll be hearing are just a few dozen of the
10 million resonances echoing inside the Sun.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://solar-center.stanford.edu/singing/singing.html"><CENTER>
