Sometimes the best way to understand the universe is to listen to it. A new project called HARP invites volunteers to listen to sonified data to decode the complex interaction between the Sun & Earth's magnetic field.

Heliophysics Audified: Resonances in Plasmas (HARP) is a NASA-funded pilot study to engage Citizen Scientists in space science research. HARP will develop a web-based interface to facilitate analysis of spacecraft data converted into sound (audification). It expands upon the MUSICS project (Magnetospheric Undulations Sonified Incorporating Citizen Scientists) led by Dr. Martin Archer, where similar work by high school students in the UK led to the discovery of a new type of plasma wave pattern, published in the journal Space Weather.

@coreyspowell
...

why did they name it HARP?

are they trolling all the people who have bizarre and false beliefs about HAARP, the University of Alaska Fairbanks ionosphere research?

@llewelly Ha! I wondered the same thing when I saw that acronym.
