Starquakes reveal surprises about birth of stars in our galaxy
A study of the internal sound waves created by starquakes, which make stars ring like a bell, has provided unprecedented insights into conditions in the turbulent gas clouds where stars were born 8 billion years ago. Ref. Source 8l.
This is incredibly fascinating. What amazes me is how far we've come in such a relatively short time. Humans have been around for many tens of thousands of years and in most of that time made very little progress. Small steps. But in the last two hundred years progress has been amazing and in the last 50 it has been absolutely spectacular. Perhaps we'll visit one of these star systems.
