Each star has its own symphony, right? Depending on how big it is. We shift that global symphony into the audible range of humans. That's called sonification. It's a whole field by itself. And actually it allows blind people to be astronomers. So in this way we can reach people who can't see, but they can hear the stars. But we have to help them a little bit by shifting to the audible range. Oh, my goodness. Have a portfolio of frequencies going on at different times in different locations. You've got a clever musician to sort of take all of that base material and figure out a way to listen to it. Yeah.
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.
