NASA Spots Starquakes in a Red Giant Orbiting One of the Galaxy’s Quietest Black Holes
A red giant star orbiting a quiet black hole spins faster than expected, while internal vibrations reveal it is younger than its ancient chemistry suggests. These findings hint at a past stellar merger and challenge existing models of star evolution in low-metal environments. Future observations aim to confirm its complex cosmic history.

"Music" Of Starquakes Reveals New Way To Understand History Of Galaxy
The "music" of starquakes - enormous vibrations caused by bursting bubbles of gas that ripple throughout the bodies of many stars - can reveal far more information about the stars' histories and inner workings than scientists thought.
