Scientists decode the Sun’s 'heartbeat' — 40 years of helioseismology reveal internal shifts between solar cycles Using 40 years of telescope observations, researchers at the University of Birmingham and Yale have decoded the Sun's 'heartbeat', showing the star's internal structure shifts measurably between solar cycles, leaving fingerprints deep beneath the surface. The finding could improve forecasting of space weather and its terrestrial impacts.
