  Paris (ESA) Aug 02, 2017 Scientists using the ESA/NASA SOHO solar observatory have found long-sought gravity modes of seismic vibration that imply the Sun's core is rotating four times faster than its surface. Just as seismology reveals Earth's interior structure by the way in which waves generated by earthquakes travel through it, solar physicists use 'helioseismology' to probe the solar interior by studying sound waves reverberating through it. On Earth, it is usually one event that is responsible for generating the sei ... read more |
