What Is a Neutron star?

Neutron stars are one of the most fascinating and extreme objects in the universe. Formed from the remnants of massive stars that have exploded in supernovae, neutron stars are incredibly dense, with a mass greater than the Sun packed into a city-sized object. These stellar remnants are composed almost entirely of neutrons and have mind-blowing gravitational forces, intense magnetic fields, and even exhibit phenomena like pulsars, where they emit regular beams of radiation. In this video, we dive into the science behind neutron stars, exploring how they are formed, their unique properties, and their incredible role in the cosmos.
