The sun may be the star closest to the earth, yet at the same time it is very remote. The solar surface is turbulent and varied. These effects reflect complicated and tumultuous activities within the sun itself. In recent decades, solar astronomers have noticed the sun quivers and shakes. It rings continually, like a well-hit gong. These reverberations, which carry information about the sun's deep interior, are allowing the examination of the sun's hidden layers, much the same way seismic tremors permit the earth's interior to be scanned. Solar accoustic waves and the search for gravity waves (g waves) are examined. Helioseimological data are re-examined using supercomputers. Brown and Morrow have presented a new model for solar rotation. A top priority is to understand the solar cycle. A new network, Global Oscillation Network Group (GONG), has been established. The data wil be used to search for the faint g waves.
