What Do Stars Sound Like?

The video explores the science of asteroseismology, which uses seismic waves to study the interiors of stars. It explains how mathematical models and seismic waves help us understand stars' internal structures, focusing on the Sun as a primary example. The video compares Earth seismology with stellar seismology, highlighting the challenges of studying distant stars. It also discusses the applications and future of asteroseismology, including its role in understanding stellar evolution and the use of space telescopes for observation.
