Nuclear fusion in stars is stable, so the stars can do that very well. Even if it's physically small, it's got a lot of mass going on. So are starquakes just the product of what was going on? Or are they a participant in causing what's going on? We have more questions for Matt and Connie.
What is a starquake? On this episode, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Matt Kirshen explore asteroseismology, the sun, and what’s happening on the insides of stars with astrophysicist Conny Aerts.
