Star song

[The Squire of Gothos]

I thought it was cool not just because of the science, but because stars sound just like the backing sounds from science fiction on TV. I swear I've heard them all on Doctor Who and TOS

Scientists have recorded the sound of three stars similar to our Sun using France's Corot space telescope.

A team writing in Science journal says the sounds have enabled them to get information about processes deep within stars for the first time.

If you listen closely to the sounds of each star - by clicking on the media in this page - you'll hear a regular repeating pattern.

These indicate that the entire star is pulsating

Check the link for the sound files.

For some reason, the sound files won't load. It just says that "This content doesn't seem to be working. Try again later." It may be due to my work's web filter, but the webpage itself and the audio plug-in seemed to load fine. Anyone else have this trouble?

The globular cluster is really cool.
