In a first, quake in star sighted

 

For the first time, quaking inside a star other than our sun has been recorded. The starquakes, as astronomers call them, offer a window into the

mysterious inner workings of stars.

 

Scientists have studied similar quakes inside the sun. And they’ve had evidence of starquakes from very massive neutron stars. But they had not seen the trembling inside another star before.

 

The new observations were made using the European COROT satellite.
