neutron stars
Superdense cosmic remnants
A neutron star is the collapsed remnant of a massive star after a supernova explosion—so dense that protons and electrons have merged into neutrons.
A teaspoon of neutron star material would weigh billions of tons.
Pulsars are rapidly rotating neutron stars that emit beams of radiation.
The neutron star spins hundreds of times per second.
