๐ช Neutron Stars: Tiny, Angry, and Heavier Than Your Existential Crisis
Let’s talk about one of the universe’s most unhinged flexes: neutron stars. These are the leftover cores of massive stars that went supernova and decided to turn into cosmic stress balls—tiny, deadly, and outrageously dense.
Neutron stars are city-sized cosmic beasts that weigh more than the Sun. One teaspoon = 1 billion tons. Space is unhinged, and we love it.
Wait… How Small?
A neutron star is literally the size of a city—like 20 kilometers across. That’s smaller than some Pizza Hut delivery zones. ๐
But here’s the wild part:
That tiny ball of angry space stuff weighs more than our Sun.
Yep. A whole star squished into something you could jog around in 30 minutes (if you didn’t, you know, instantly die).
๐ฅ A Teaspoon of a Neutron Star = 1 Billion Tons
Let that marinate.
One. Teaspoon.
Would weigh more than every human on Earth times 10.
It’s giving “I go to the gym 32 hours a day” energy.
How Is That Even Legal?
When a massive star dies, it explodes (supernova moment ๐ฅ) and its core collapses so hard that electrons and protons fuse into neutrons. It becomes pure neutron soup, with zero chill and maximum gravity.
Like, if you stood a few miles away, it would still try to yeet you into itself with its gravity. It's that needy.
Oh, and They Spin. FAST.
Some neutron stars (called pulsars) spin hundreds of times per second, beaming radiation like lighthouses on cosmic crack.
Imagine a disco ball that wants to kill you. That’s a pulsar.
TL;DR – The Universe Be Bulking
Neutron stars are:
-
Small but THICC
-
Super spinny
-
Mega magnetic
-
Densely dramatic
They’re like the Chad of dead stars. Proof that the universe lifts. ๐๐ช✨
