Yup. It's basically as it's name suggests doing what seismologists do on earth with the surface of a star. Except that you can't set off an explosion on the star surface to see what happens, you have to wait for the star or a planet to do it for you.

Cool. Didn't realise we could do stuff like that.

We couldn't until this year. It's taken 20 years to get the technology to the point it would work and to get the money to put the thing into orbit.

Science rocks.
