Uncovering the Invisible: Imaging the Sun with Helioseismology
Helioseismology is a powerful tool for understanding the interior of our closest star. Can it also be used to observe the solar surface?

Could the surface of Earth’s only natural satellite hold the key to understanding early activity of our own star? Today’s paper investigates the Moon’s composition to find out more.
What does your uncle have in common with the Sun? Find out in this bite about a new discovery in the Sun’s atmosphere!
Dr. Philip Scherrer has studied our nearest star for over 50 years. In his talk at #AAS234, he’ll tell us about what he’s learned — both about the Sun, and about being a scientist!
Today’s paper investigates how structures in the solar atmosphere hold clues to the long-debated coronal heating problem.
Historic observations of sunspot variability have improved our understanding of the solar cycle tremendously, but recent reanalyses of these data has yielded a conflicted view on solar variability within the past few centuries. Today’s paper shows how we can both better visualize existing historic data and where we can go next in understanding the long-term variability of our closest star.
