Extropes,

I posted the following note to Usenet recently, but I realized that
people here may have some fun with this as well.

Happy Holidays everyone.

Astro Folks,

Our SOHO Solar Oscillations group have created some sounds from
our Michelson Doppler Imager data. I've worked a bit more with
the sounds and have put them on a Web page for easy downloading
and listening.

You can see/hear the sounds at:

http://quake.stanford.edu/~amara/mdi/sounds.html

The sounds were generated from low angular degree (l=0,1,2) mode
doppler velocity data, cleaned up to remove spacecraft motion and
solar supergranulation, interpolated over the gaps and then speeded
up to be within human audible range.

I personally think that the sounds would be wonderful background
"music" for the movie 2001.

Enjoy,

Amara
