Scientists have recorded new musical pulses from a mysterious type of star called Delta Scuti, which burn around twice as bright and twice as hot as the Earth's sun. A group of astronomers led by the University of Sydney's Tim Bedding recorded the pulsing patterns of 60 new Delta Scuti stars. The team also found that a number of the stars appeared to pulse at frequencies that harmonized with other nearby stars, the first time anyone has documented the phenomenon with Delta Scuti stars.

The harmonizations seen with the Delta Scuti stars are still a mystery, but one explanation could be that they all formed from the same larger gas cloud around the same time before dispersing through the universe.
