The Mysteries of Neutron Stars
Neutron stars are the remnants of massive stars that have ended their life cycles in supernova explosions. They are incredibly dense, with masses between 1.4 and 3 times that of our Sun, but only about 20 kilometers in diameter. Imagine a star more massive than the Sun packed into a city-sized sphere!
Neutron stars consist almost entirely of neutrons, particles with no electrical charge. The gravitational force is so strong that it overcomes the repulsive forces between particles, allowing them to pack closely together.
Did you know? A single sugar cube of neutron star material would weigh as much as all of humanity! ⭐
