Hey everybody, we wanna give you a detailed
explanation about neutron stars and what’s
so special about them .
Neutron stars are city-size stellar objects
with a mass about 1.4 times that of the sun.
Born from the explosive death of another,
larger stars, these tiny objects pack quite
a punch. Let's take a look at what they are,
how they form, and how they vary.
Neutron stars are created when giant stars
die in supernovas and their cores collapse,
with the protons and electrons essentially
melting into each other to form neutrons
A teaspoon of neutron star material would
weigh about 10 million tons. The collapsed
star is so dense that electrons and protons
do not exist separately, but are fused to
form neutrons.
A celestial object of very small radius and
very high density, composed of closely packed
neutrons, neutron stars are thought to form
by the gravitational collapse of the remnant
of a massive star after a supernova explosion,
provided that the star is insufficiently massive
to produce a black hole
Neutron stars are the smallest and densest
stars, but still bigger in size than the well-known
black holes.
Most of the basic models for these objects
imply that neutron stars are composed almost
entirely of neutrons ,the electrons and protons
present in normal matter combine to produce
neutrons at the conditions in a neutron star.
Neutron stars can be dangerous because of
their strong fields. If a neutron star entered
our solar system, it could cause chaos, throwing
off the orbits of the planets and, if it got
close enough, even raising tides that would
rip the planet apart. But the closest known
neutron star is about 500 light-years away.
