Solar biorhythm (IMAGE)
Caption
As the Sun's activity varies over each 11-year solar cycle – from periods of high activity (solar maxima) to low activity (solar minima) – so the Sun's oscillations, which are due to sound waves in the Sun's interior, increase and decrease in frequency. The oscillations therefore track and probe the Sun's active biorhythm.
