The James Webb Telescope is exquisitely tuned to observe the early universe. It would never occur to me to imagine if it could be of use to you in thinking about starquakes. What I need as a seismologist is really long-term measurements. And so you don't want to spend James Webb on that because it has, as you say, so much other fantastic extra galactic science to do.
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.
