The Daily Space - NASA’s TESS Maps A Symphony of Pulsating Red Giant Stars

NASA’s TESS spacecraft, which is primarily used to search for exoplanets, has now observed a veritable symphony of pulsating red giant stars, each with their own internal vibrations. This work was presented at this week’s TESS Science Conference. Plus, some more climate change news (bad) and superflares may be less harmful to exoplanets than thought (good).   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.
