Abstract

The article offers information on the study of stars using the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Kepler space telescope. It mentions that astronomers use Kepler data to generate optical oscillations and translate them to X-ray images. Topics discussed include determination of size of the stars, role of velocities in cosmic harmony, and discovery of the Sun-like star Kepler-37 using seismic data.
