Scientists measured the innate "twinkling" of three stars as waves of energy traveled from their cores to their surfaces. Then, the team set their findings to a familiar and apt tune.

Sony A7R V review
Can it fill the boots of the powerful A7R IV? We tested Sony's newest full-frame mirrorless camera to see whether the upgrades are worth it.
NASA's Juno probe finds giant swirling waves in Jupiter's magnetosphere
Data from NASA's Juno mission shows that the spacecraft routinely encounters giant swirling waves, or vortices, at the boundary between the planet's magnetic field and the solar wind.
Ocean current system could shut down as early as 2025, leading to climate disaster
This major system, which transport heat from the tropics to the north Atlantic, are now at high risk of collapse due to human-induced climate change.

Keeping your underwear clean on the Moon
When astronauts return to the Moon they will be bringing along a new generation of spacesuits, designed to withstand the harsh conditions of the lunar surface. But in keeping their human occupants safe and comfortable, these suits might also become a fertile environment for harmful microbial life – especially as astronauts will potentially be sharing suits with one another.
Hubble telescope spots a bright spiral galaxy with a violent past (photo)
The Hubble Space Telescope captured a new view of a spiral galaxy called UGC 12295, which is believed to have recently hosted a supernova, allowing astronomers to study the debris of the stellar explosion.
Combine October’s “Ring of Fire” Eclipse with Stargazing
Stargazers will be interested not only in the annular eclipse this October but also in the dark skies in parks along the eclipse path!
Wow! Rare rainbow contrails caught on camera (photos)
A series of stunning rainbow contrails were captured by amateur photographer Soumyadeep Mukherjee over Kolkata, India.
Dark energy camera reveals galaxies caught in a cosmic 'tug of war' (photo)
Astronomers have witnessed a cosmic tug of war between Haley's Coronet and its neighboring dwarf galaxy. The gravitational tussle is one the smaller galaxy is bound to lose. That could ultimately result in a merger between the two.
SpaceX scrubs record-breaking Falcon Heavy rocket launch (video)
SpaceX scrubbed Wednesday's (July 26) planned launch of its powerful Falcon Heavy rocket, stopping the countdown with 65 seconds left on the clock.
Olympus Could Have Been a Giant Volcanic Island in an Ancient Martian Ocean
Olympus Mons, located at the northwest edge of the Tharsis Montes region on Mars, was appropriately named. Based on readings obtained by the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA), an instrument aboard NASA’s Mars Global Surveyor (MGS), this mountain is the tallest in the Solar System, standing 21.9 km (13.6 mi) tall – about two and a half times the height of Mount Everest (8.85 km; 5.5 mi). According to current estimates, this extinct shield volcano formed during Mars’ Hesperian Period (ca. 3.7 to 3 billion years ago), which was characterized by widespread volcanic activity and catastrophic flooding.
Need To Image An Asteroid Close Up? There’s an AMIGO For That.
There are so many asteroids. Just in our own backyard, we’ve found over 30,000 Near Earth asteroids. Exploring them using traditional methods and launching a custom-made mission, like Hayabusa or OSIRIS-REx, would almost certainly be cost-prohibitive. So how can we assess whether they would make good targets for early asteroid mining missions? Ground imaging can help, but there’s nothing like being on-site on one of these asteroids to get a sense of what they are made of. Those visits would be much easier if we mass-produced the Asteroid Mobile Imager and Geologic Observer (AMIGO).
A Gamma Ray Burst Lasted So Long it Triggered a Satellite Twice
Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are the most powerful astrophysical phenomena in the universe. For a span of seconds to a few minutes, they can be the most powerful high-energy event in the sky, shining across billions of light years. But recently astronomers detected a GRB that lasted more than a thousand seconds, with two blasts of gamma rays that triggered the Fermi Gamma Ray Burst Monitor. It’s such a strange cosmic event that astronomers aren’t sure what caused it, but they do have a possible idea.
Witnesses Play Up the Alien Angle at Congressional UFO Hearing
Three former insiders who have played a role in dealing with UFOs — or as they’ve now come to be known, unidentified anomalous phenomena — say the U.S. military knows more than what it’s been telling lawmakers about encounters with potentially alien technology.
NASA, DARPA to launch nuclear rocket to orbit by early 2026
NASA and DARPA plan to launch a nuclear-powered spacecraft to Earth orbit in the next few years, to test propulsion technology that could help humanity get to Mars.
China's new moon rocket could launch as soon as 2027
China's new Long March 10 rocket just completed its sixth hotfire test. The country is hoping to launch astronauts to the moon on the rocket by 2030.
James Webb Space Telescope stuns with glowing portrait of actively forming stars (photo)
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has used its infrared eyes to produce a highly detailed image of two young stars more than 1,000 light-years away.
