Neutron stars are massive gravitational monsters, and orbiting one wouldn't end up well for our planet. But what if we took ...

"We studied the last several orbits before the merger, when the entwined magnetic fields undergo rapid and dramatic changes, ...

The curious minds at What If explore what would happen if a spoonful of neutron star material appeared on Earth, revealing ...

Gravity from mountains on rapidly rotating neutron stars produces ripples in space-time known as gravitational waves. The Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) searches for such ...

"Measuring the properties of neutron-star matter is indeed very hard and this is because while we can measure the mass of a neutron star very accurately, it is very hard to measure its radius ...

It weighs more than 2 times the mass of our sun, but is only 18 miles wide. Astronomers have discovered the "most massive neutron star ever measured," amassing to more than two times the mass of our ...

New simulations of neutron star mergers reveal that the mixing and changing of tiny particles called neutrinos impacts how the merger unfolds, including the composition and structure of the merger ...

If you approached a neutron star, you would be instantly crushed by gravity and fried by X-rays, while your very atoms would be torn apart by magnetic fields and gravity – making you a splattered ...

New simulations performed on a NASA supercomputer are providing scientists with the most comprehensive look yet into the ...
