Heartbeat Stars

If that sounds like beating hearts, that’s because it is — in a way. It’s the sound of “heartbeat” stars. If you plot how the light from such a star changes, it looks like an EKG — like a beating heart. Scientists have converted some of those beats to sound, and sped them up to show the rhythm of the heartbeats.
