I’ve seen shit and the reality is:

Flesh heals. Seeds sprout. Life longs for life. Humans hunger for love.

I know desolation can be as deep, as all-consuming, as the cold black void of space.

The Sun is not silent. The low, pulsing hum of our star’s heartbeat allows scientists to peer inside, revealing huge rivers of solar material flowing around before their eyes — er, ears.

Data from ESA (European Space Agency) and NASA’s Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO), sonified by the Stanford Experimental Physics Lab, captures the Sun’s natural vibrations and reveals what can’t be seen with the naked eye.

This piece features low frequency sounds of the Sun. For the best listening experience, listen to this story with headphones. 🎧
