Neutron Stars: Pulsating Lighthouses of the Universe

Dive into the fascinating world of neutron stars! Discover how these ultra-dense remnants of massive stars provide natural laboratories for testing the laws of physics with their intense gravitational pull and time dilation effects. Learn about pulsars and magnetars, neutron stars with powerful magnetic fields that emit beams of radiation detectable from Earth. Explore the dramatic formation of neutron stars from supernova explosions and their role in the first direct detection of gravitational waves. Get insights into new telescopes and space missions like NICER, pushing the boundaries of our understanding of the universe.
