Scientific paper

A world-wide program called GONG (Global Oscillation Network Group) will permit scientists to study the depths of the sun's interior by means of its naturally occurring oscillations. Oscillation measurements have revealed that the rotation rate slows very slightly with deeper penetration into the sun. Preliminary data suggest that GONG should be able to monitor the sun 96 percent of the time; the observations should be free from contamination by the 24-hr periodicity.
