Neutron

A star that is 1.5 to 4 times larger than our Sun will become a neutron star. Stars that are even bigger than that will become black holes.

Neutron stars spin rapidly giving off radio waves. If the radio waves appear to be emitted in pulses (due to the star's spin), these neutron stars are called pulsars.

These stellar deaths can leave behind neutron stars, which pack more mass than our Sun into a sphere roughly as wide as the island of Manhattan is long.

Supernovas can leave behind neutron stars, which pack more mass than our Sun into a sphere roughly as wide as the island of Manhattan is long.

Pulsars, which are one class of neutron star, spin up to hundreds of times each second and sweep beams of energy toward us with every rotation.

Magnetars are a type of neutron star with powerful magnetic fields.

The strong force is responsible for 99% of proton and neutron mass.

Some scientists believe the origin of this oscillating signal to be a neutron star.

Pulsars are compact and rapidly rotating neutron stars which are the remains of stars that have exploded.

Cobalt, which forms the core of Vitamin B12, is only created in supernovae and neutron star mergers.
