Listen "A Whole Lotta' Shakin' Going On : Guest : Courtney Crawford"
Episode Synopsis
Benjamin was crushed when he learned that 'starquakes' weren't actual ground-shaking events on a star's surface that shook little star buildings and cracked little star roads. Kovi's colleague, astroseismologist Courtney Crawford, explains how asteroseismology is the study of stellar oscillations - rhythmic pulsations in a star’s brightness - that help astronomers understand a star's internal structure, composition and rotation. Courtney wanted to be a butterfly until she watched MythBusters - and that set her down the path to talking to us about starquakes.
