The failure of the laser-interferometer gravitational wave antennas tomeasure the tiny changes of lengths many orders of magnitude smaller than thediameter of a proton raises the question of whether the reason for this failureis a large gravitational wave background noise, and if so, where thisbackground noise is coming from. It is conjectured that it comes fromgravitational waves emitted from a magnetohydrodynamic dynamo in the center ofthe sun, with the large magnetic field from this dynamo shielded bythermomagnetic currents in the tachocline. Using the moon as a large Weber bar,these gravitational waves could possibly be detected by the Poisson diffractioninto the center of the lunar shadow during a total solar eclipse.
