Neutron stars

Neutron stars are the densest objects in the entire universe. They're so dense, in fact, that if they were even a tiny bit denser, they would collapse to become black holes. Neutrons stars are what you get after a giant star (at least 10 times the mass of the Sun) dies. The typical density of neutron stars is around 10^17 kilograms per cubic meter. A thimbleful of neutron star material would weigh more than 100 million tons on the surface of Earth. It is this incredible density that is able to compress neutrons into cube-like shapes.  Neutron stars are one of the most fascinating and extreme objects in the universe, formed from the remnants of massive stars that have undergone a supernova explosion. When a star about 8–20 times the mass of our Sun reaches the end of its life, its core collapses under gravity after exhausting its nuclear fuel. The outer layers are blown away in a spectacular supernova, while the dense core is crushed into a neutron star. This collapse forces proton...
