The Sun Is Not Silent. The Low, Pulsing Hum Of Our Star’s Heartbeat Allows Scientists To Peer Inside,

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.

In this audiogram, our heliophysicist Alex Young explains how this simple sound connects us with the Sun and all the other stars in the universe.

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

Zhongshuge Bookstores

Shanghai-based architecture firm X+Living has designed Zhongshuge bookstores. Each location in this chain of Chinese bookstores has uniquely designed spaces with reflective elements that immerse guests in parallel environments. In the Chongqing branch, criss-crossing staircases and a mirrored ceiling double the room for an effect that seems straight out of an M.C. Escher woodcut.

Finally finished this FMA embroidery commission for kelly!

It took me a while to complete but the learning experience was marvelous and I am so so pleased with the end result. Plus, isn’t it wonderful to turn your favorite idiots into skaters and then surround them in flowers? Cause I can do that for you if you want 👀
