neutron/proton stars

These are the remnants of a exploded high mass star. These are x ray emitting very dense but small stars. That was the small introduction to a neutron star. A proton star is slightly different, they emit in fared light waves. A neutron star is only 15 meters but its mass is incredibly heavy, a pinhead of it's material would weigh more than 2 supertankers. It's gravity is extremely powerful, scientists still don't know how strong. A neutron stars goes "on" and "off" on the position its spins round. To be honest it nearly the same with a proton star. One last thing is that a neutron star has so much gravity that you could barely lift your your head. Well that's all see you tommorow
