Scientists Detect Earth's Atmosphere 'Ringing' Like a Bell

Just as the Moon tugs at our planet's seas, contributing to oceanic tidal waves, it also pulls at our atmosphere along with the Sun, creating waves in the sky.

A new study now demonstrates how some types of 'sky waves' resonate around Earth, much like how sound waves resonate inside a bell.

In the water, waves are produced by passing energy. Energy moving through our skies - from things like heat-produced pressure to the gravitational pull of celestial bodies - also creates waves.

These atmospheric waves don't slosh around the same way ocean waves do, but they are still recognisable if one knows what to look for: moving pockets of more tightly packed air, thousands of kilometres long.

2. we're part of the universe's song

each of us provides a note and the earth's song is resounding.
