Star Science: Quakes in Space?!

From starquakes, to spacequakes, to the creation and death of stars, we’ll introduce some very interesting topics today. As somebody who considers science a hobby, I couldn’t not include this at some point. These are the interesting things that I have learned recently about stars, and I hope that you can find it to be as intriguing as I do.

If you have questions, feel free to ask. I’ll do my best to answer them. This week’s podcast is a bit short, but the other part I had planned just didn’t connect with this topic at all, so check out my podcast on Determinism vs. Free Will next week.

I post these every Friday at 3 pm EST, so I hope you'll join us then.

Edit: I made a mistake when I said a star between 8 to 40 (or 50) solar masses will be a neutron star. I meant to say that mass will result in a Type II Supernova. My bad!
