...excitement, however, was just beginning for the Crimson heavy weight crew of bow Curt Pieckenhagen, Captain Joe Harvey, Hugh Evans, Jon Bernstein, Peter Sharis, Jack Rusher, Phil Schuller, John Amory and coxswain Travis Metz...
...evolved that should help them in their quest -- helioseismology, which, simply stated, involves "listening" to the interior of the sun as it bubbles, gurgles and swirls. The entire outer third of the sun is a seething ocean of gas, constantly churned by thermal convection. And convection, says astronomer John Harvey of the National Solar Observatory at Kitt Peak, "is a very noisy process. So the sun makes noise, just as a pot of water does as it boils...
...describe the structure and nature of the earth's interior by studying seismic waves caused by earthquakes or explosions, astronomers are using helioseismology to learn more about the structure of the sun. Although still in its infancy, the new science has already led to several discoveries. Says NSO's Harvey: "It looks as if the frequencies of the oscillating waves vary with the solar cycle: they decreased a bit as the sun went toward solar minimum. Now we expect them to increase again...
...telltale seismic-wave patterns also suggest that while the sun's outer layer rotates faster at the equator than at the poles, the inner region rotates uniformly. This creates a shear force, like the blades of scissors sliding past each other, that Harvey suspects distorts the magnetic field, giving rise to the solar cycle...
