...close-up look at the sun's lower-latitude trade winds, whose existence they had hitherto only suspected. The new probes not only confirmed these suspicions but also showed that the winds--actually, great bands of plasma slightly warmer than neighboring solar gases--dive deep into the solar interior, itself a mass of gases, then flow back toward the equator, creating a circular gyre reminiscent of Earth's great ocean currents, such as those that sweep the Atlantic and Pacific. "We used to think the inside of the sun was fairly simple," says John Harvey, an astronomer at the Kitt...
...that the scientists used to unlock that interior was provided by the sun itself: the great, sonic-boom-like explosions that constantly ripple its surface. Using computer techniques similar to those required to produce sonograms of the human body, the scientists followed the sun's sound waves as they raced through its interior and across its surface at speeds of 20,000 m.p.h. "It's a terrible din," says University of Cambridge astrophysicist Douglas Gough. But, he adds, since millions of explosions are taking place at any single moment, their waves can be plotted like a body scan to create...

Last Monday the company introduced a larger, Goodyear-size blimp (rented by Sanyo, it's flying over San Diego), a 10-passenger dirigible it hopes to use for sight-seeing trips. Blimps are also...
