An illustration of a rapidly spinning neutron star or pulsar a VLITE 340 MHz image of GLIMPSE-C01A from February 27, 2021.A rapidly spinning neutron star that sweeps beams of radiation across the universe like a cosmic lighthouse has been discovered by U.S. Naval Research Laboratory Remote Sensing Division intern Amaris McCarver and a team of astronomers.around 10.7 light-years from Earth.
This causes the cores of these stars to collapse and trigger shockwaves in the stars' outer layers, resulting in most of their masses being shed in, which are neutral particles usually found locked in atomic nuclei alongside positively charged protons. This neutron-rich soup is so dense that if a tablespoon of it were brought to Earth, it would weigh over 1 billion tons. That's heavier than the largest mountain on our planet, Mount Everest .
