If you were to attend a concert by the sun, what would you hear? You probably wouldn't need earplugs. NASA released a soundtrack this week that captures the sun's waves, loops and eruptions, and they sound like a low, pulsing hiss.

To produce the hot audio, the Stanford Experimental Physics Lab sonified data from the European Space Agency and NASA's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (more on how that data was processed here). The vibrations let scientists study complex motions inside the star, from solar storms to solar flares that shoot hot particles and plasma into space.
