Our Universe is full of most strange and mysterious objects. One of these objects are neutron stars. Neutron stars are among the objects having most extreme density and gravity. After black holes neutron stars are the one with most density and gravity. Neutron stars were first predicted by Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky in 1933, but they seemed so fantastic that they were ignored by scientists for decades. In 1933, with Walter Baade, he coined the word “supernova” and correctly predicted the existence of n eutron stars. We will discuss briefly about neutron stars and how they are formed. Illustration Of A Neutron Star What Is A Neutron Star? In the aftermath of a supernova explosion, there is a tiny remnant called a neutron star. The density of neutron stars is unbelievably high and violent. Due to very high density, the gravity becomes extremely strong. The mass of neutron star could be equal to one, two or three suns but compressed to a diameter of only 25 kilometres. It is s
