einbar says:

"The star pulsations were about 25 per cent weaker than predicted, suggesting scientists may need to refine their theories of stellar evolution.
A number of scientists are working out what the sounds from stars tell us about processes occurring inside stars"'It's not easy,
'It's like listening to the sound of a musical instrument and then trying to reconstruct the shape of the instrument'.
