This
computer representation depicts one of nearly ten million modes of sound
wave oscillations of the Sun, showing receding regions in red tones, and
approaching regions in blue. Using the NSF-funded Global Oscillation Network
Group (GONG) to measure these oscillations, astronomers are learning about
the internal structure and dynamics of our nearest star.
