Sing, ye heavens, and earth, reply, Alleluia!




Magnetic loops formed in the corona of the sun– can be heard as music,
astronomers have found.


Microflares at the base of these loops could be driving the sound in a manner similar to the production of standing waves in organ pipes or guitar strings.

The music is in the milliherz range however, not audible to human ears, whose lower range is a thousand times higher than that.

  1. Okay, so there is some cosmic noise, or music out there. But come on, "sing, ye heavens, and earth?

    "Alleluia?"

    Please don't start sounding like a Christian on me hon. It's just noise.

    Fixing this planet and it's wounds will have to come from within, not from out there. Hugs.

  2. I agree with you, God.

    Hecate forbid I should ever sound like a Christian.

    I just have a really warped sense of humour.
    Love,
