the Awesomeness of Neutron Stars

                                       Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are.
                           Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky

        Undoubtedly we all love stars but ever wondered about  what types of stars would their be, how they are formed, today we are talking about one of the most awesome things in space

Neutron Stars : the Awesomeness & Facts

             they are actually a celestial object of very small radius (typically 30 km) and very high density, composed predominantly of closely packed neutrons. the word neutron means a subatomic particle with no net electric charge and a mass slightly larger that that of a proton . the temperature of neutron star is 1,000,000 K

How they are Formed?

when a supergiant star explodes in the form of supernova, the remnants of the explosion scatter in the space and form a nebula where as the ultra-dense remnants of the imploded core of the star is left behind to form a neutron star, its protons and neutrons are crushed under its hugh gravitational force to form neutrons.

What happens when two Neutron stars collide?

their are two possibilities, they can get merge together to form a single neutron star or it will collapse into a black hole 

BUT, what happens when

This is going to sound weird, but mathematically speaking, we aren’t entirely sure what a neutron star is. More specifically, we don’t know how big a neutron star can possibly get before it hits an upper mass limit and collapses into a black hole.

Luckily, we can tell the difference between the two possible outcomes of a neutron star collision observationally. If we manage to spot a pair of neutron stars colliding and they collapse into a black hole, they’re going to emit a blinding gamma ray burst across the galaxy. But if they instead merge into neutron star, that same jet is going to get loaded down with baryons and choke out without ever producing a gamma ray burst.

Bonus facts -

• In neutron stars, the atoms have all collapsed. The electron clouds have all been sucked in, and the whole thing becomes a single entity with electrons running around side-by-side with protons and neutrons in a gas or fluid.

• Neutron stars are pretty small, as far as stellar objects go. Although scientists are still working on pinning down their exact diameter, they estimate that they’re somewhere around 12 to 17 miles across, just about the length of Manhattan. Despite that, they have about 1.5 times the mass of our sun.

• It’s been speculated that if there were life on neutron stars, it would be two-dimensional.

• The fastest known spinning neutron star rotates about 700 times each second.
