Dr. Universe: What would happen if you put a baseball-sized piece of neutron star on the Earth? Would it fall to the core of the Earth and become part of the core or pass through the Earth ...

“The neutron star’s crust will crack open just like the ground in an earthquake,” said Most, in a Caltech release. “The black hole’s gravity first shears the surface, causing quakes in ...

A new simulation by researchers shows how a neutron star violently cracks seconds before vanishing into a black hole.

"The neutron star's crust will crack open just like the ground in an earthquake," Most says. "The black hole's gravity first shears the surface, causing quakes in the star and the opening of rifts." ...

Soon after the Big Bang, powerful flares that came from magnetars, which are neutron stars with a strong magnetic field, […] ...

Astronomers believe starquakes on highly magnetic neutron stars could lead to the creation of heavy elements such as gold, according to a new study.

Astronomers believe starquakes on highly magnetic neutron stars could lead to the creation of heavy elements such as gold, according to a new study.

Neutron stars are some of the weirdest cosmic objects, and the greatest mysteries lie deep in their hearts.

An interesting fact about gold is that it can never be destroyed. You can melt, atomise, and dissolve it, but it never truly ‘dies’. The only real way to do that is to cast it back to whence it came, ...

Neutron stars are among the densest objects in the universe. Their crust is far stronger than any material on Earth and a spoonful of this matter is heavier than a mountain. Talking about ...
