simonf:

Stars have natural vibrations that are sound waves, just as musical instruments do.

Here are some star-songs:

  1. HR3831, discovered by Kurtz, a new class of star with a powerful magnetic field. It pulses every 11.7 minutes.
  2. Xi-hydrae, an old star in the constellation Hydra. It is 130 light years away and 60 times brighter than the Sun. Its sounds, which have been featured in club music in Belgium, are reminiscent of African drumming.
  3. A “white dwarf” or dead star 50 light years away.

Star songs is one of the most beautiful and poetic things I can imagine.
