The project will detect stellar oscillations caused by massive starquakes to explore the interiors of stars born in clusters, which comprise most stars. The project will measure their mass, size, age and composition with unprecedented accuracy to reveal how they formed and evolved, and hence gain a deep understanding of the intricate lives of stars.

该项目将探测由大规模星震引起的恒星振荡，以探索由大多数恒星组成的星团中诞生的恒星的内部。该项目将以前所未有的精度测量它们的质量、大小、年龄和组成，以揭示它们是如何形成和演化的，从而深入了解恒星错综复杂的生命。
