Solar Sound

According to a report in the UK Telegraph, researchers have translated visible magnetic loops on the sun's fiery surface into sound waves. The blog DAILY INTERESTING THINGS and a personal contact of the Obscure Lure recently made the connexion between this news event and a Bible verse in the book of Job about singing stars.

And this was not the only recognition by ancients of celestial sound. According to David Tame's The Secret Power of Music, the ancient Chinese associated the skies with Cosmic Sound. They also symbolized their pentatonic musical scale with five planets: Saturn, Venus, Jupiter, Mars, and Mercury. I wonder of any observable phenomena from the planets could be translated into music?

Anyway, below is a video of the eerie sounds translated from the sun's harp string-like loops:
