Neutron stars are created when massive stars reach the ends of their lives and are composed of the densest matter in the known universe.
When a star dies, it may end its life in one of two ways: as a supernova remnant or as a neutron star. Explore stellar death and rebirth, learn how to define a stellar remnant, and discover how explosions form neutron stars. Create an account Table of Contents Stellar Death and New...
How are neutron stars created? Neutrons from a dying star turn into electrons. Neutrons from a dying star turn into protons. Electrons and protons from a dying star crash together to create neutrons. A dying star splits into two separate smaller stars with the same protons, electrons, and ne...
Neutron stars are one of the most bizarre and unique objects in the Universe. However, not much is known about these remnants of dead stars.

Scientists might have captured a collision between a neutron star and a black hole. They're calling the potential explosion historic.
Neutron stars are remnants of collapsed star cores that have undergone a supernova explosion. Pulsars are an extremely dense type of neutron star that spin at regular intervals, sending blinking beams of light out from their magnetic poles and into the universe. Because pulsars blink with exception...
The article describes the formation of a neutron star, which astronomers believe forms when a star born with at least eight solar-masses collapses and explodes as a supernova. Details related to the star's density, comparable to that of an atomic nucleus, are discussed. The magnetic fields ...
a neutron star is an exotic type of star that is composed entirely of neutrons. This is because the intense gravity of the neutron star crushes protons and electrons together to form neutrons. If stars are even more massive, they will become black holes instead of neutron stars after the sup...
It may be that if the stars are light enough, that they will actually form a single, very heavy neutron star instead of a black hole. That may be stable and stay as a neutron star forever, or it may be unstable and eventually collapse into a black hole. © 2017 AFP...
