Observations of solar and stellar oscillations are providing detailed information about stellar interiors. In the case of the Sun the set of observed frequencies is sufficiently detailed and accurate that the properties of the solar interior, such as sound speed, density and internal rotation, can be inferred with substantial precision and resolution. This allows detailed tests of solar modelling, with interesting and to some extent controversial results. Observations of solar-like oscillations in distant stars have started only recently, owing their very small amplitudes. However, developments in ground-based equipment and observations from space are revolutionizing this field, promising greatly increased insight into the structure and evolution of the stars.
