Basic observational data regarding the 160-min oscillations of the sun are described as well as the implications for helioseismology. The most acceptable theoretical interpretation seems to be a resonant interaction of gravity g-mode oscillations of the solar model with a slight modification to the equilibrium structure (with low heavy element abundance). It is also noted that there is significant 160-min commensurability over the solar system, e.g., spin rates of the main and minor planets prefer, statistically, to be integer multiples of the 160-min period. The same period appears to be the most 'characteristic' period (in the range studied from about 110 to 830 min) for the distribution of orbital periods of close binary stars. Allowing for these facts, various nonclassical suggestions as to possible nature of the 160-min period are briefly reviewed.
