NASA Found Stars 'Singing'
Back in 2010
NASA discovered a group of massive red stars that were actually humming to themselves. These stars were discovered by using the Kepler space telescope. The telescope revealed sound was emanating from the stars. It is reported that NASA recorded the tune, and played it at a press conference in Denmark.
Sound waves help astronomers determine the size, density, age, and structure of stars. Stars have many different frequencies and overtones. To measure the size of a star, astronomers measure the tone of these 'musical notes. Sound waves travel down into a star and bring information back up to the surface of the star. The Kepler space telescope can see this flickering of the star.
NASA Discovered Planets and Stars Give Off Music
Planets and stars actually give off music. Although space is a virtual vacuum, this does not mean there is no sound in space. Sounds still exist in the form of electromagnetic vibrations and can be detected using specially designed instruments developed by NASA.
Looking into outer space, we may have assumed it would be absolute silence. However, we are starting to realize that our universe is teeming with planetary music. The sounds that planets give off are breathtaking.
Ancient Stars Were Caught 'Singing' in the Milky Way
A very old cluster of stars that were buried within our galaxy has been caught 'singing' by astronomers. The research team, from the University of Birmingham's School of Physics and Astronomy, heard resonant acoustic oscillations of stars in 'M4'. Scientists have captured the 'song' of distant stars as part of their insight researching.
Using data from the Nasa Kepler/K2 mission, the team studied oscillations of stars using a technique called asteroseismology. Stars make sounds naturally in the outermost layers of stars, sounding similar to a sound of a musical instrument.
