Here comes the Sun!

So I took a brief break here since classes started and my life turned crazy, but, I had to share this. Super cool. In collaboration with scientists at the NASA Space Science lab at UC Berkeley,Britis artists Ruth Jarman and Joe Gerhardt have turned the sun's "hot spots" into soundwaves, creating a 10 minute video that is - well -very cool. Take it for what it's worth - a video of sun flares leaping off the sun with sound attached - not a BlockBuster from MGM. But for any astronomy nuts like myself out there - the video footage alone is wicked. :) Yes - I am in fact a super nerd.
