As for telluric planets, a seismic tecnique can be applied to study the internal structure of the Sun and the stars. The so-called asteroseismology consists in measuring optically the frequencies of the eigenmodes of the stars, in order to recover the internal structure and dynamics. Helioseismology has been succesful to solve a number of unanswered questions regarding the composition, structure, dynamic and evolution of the Sun for the past 30 years, and new results in stellar physics have been obtained recently by asteroseismologists from ground and space observations. A similar approach has been intented for the study of the internal structure of gaseous planets. The most promising technique is the recording of periodic motions of the planetary surface through imaging Doppler spectroscopy. Several instruments have been specially developed for that goal. One of them has succesfully detetected oscillations on Jupiter, with a signature compatible with the Jovian resonance frequencies. Based on the same concept, a new space project is now proposed in the frame of the Europa-Jupiter-System-Mission, which aims to investigate the origin of the solar system and the evolution mechanism in giant planets.
