Touching the Sun

Two elements make life possible:
the Sun’s energy and abundant water.
Yet, the Sun's power remained obscured
by enormous distance, light, and heat.

Until now. In 2018, NASA launched the Parker
Solar Probe to touch the Sun and study the Sun's
atmosphere. In 2024, the Probe reached the
closest orbit. A team of artists
and scientists
asked what this epic journey feels like,
looks like, and sounds like. The result: a unique vision
of the Probe’s entire journey, condensed into 10 minutes of
music for Carillon and Cellphones at a Bell Tower near you.
Come listen, watch, and play along, together.
Come join the journey to the Sun.
