Singing Stars You Can Actually Hear

Kepler-70

This star pulses in short, rapid cycles. Scientists turned its light data into audio, revealing fast, high-pitched star “chirps.”

HD 181068 (Trio Star System)

Also called the “Trinity Star,” this unique system creates harmonics as three stars orbit and vibrate, creating an eerie “chorus.”

Delta Scuti Stars

These stars pulsate dozens of times per day, producing wave patterns that researchers can convert into tones similar to musical notes.

Sun (Yes, Our Sun!)

Our own Sun vibrates with pressure waves. Scientists have converted these oscillations into deep, soothing sounds.

KIC 5520878

This distant star sings a precise cosmic rhythm. It pulses in ratios that resemble musical intervals like a perfect fifth.

Red Giants (Various)

Many red giants swell and shrink rhythmically. These movements create low-frequency waves, which are turned into audio patterns.

Betelgeuse

This massive, dying star emits slow, deep pulses. Its fading brightness has even been interpreted as ghostly, throbbing tones.
