The Most Terrifying Star in the Universe Makes Black Holes Look Harmless

This Dead Star Could Wipe Every Credit Card On Earth A neutron star packs more mass than our Sun into something the size of a city, dense enough that one sugar cube of it would weigh a billion tons. We break down how these objects form, the accidental 1967 discovery that proved they were real, and the record breaking pulsars spinning hundreds of times a second. Then we go deeper into magnetars, starquakes powerful enough to outshine our Sun, and the neutron star collisions believed to have forged the gold sitting in your jewelry. Scientists still don't fully understand what's happening inside these things. Subscribe to Uncharted Odyssey for more deep dives into space and the universe's strangest objects.
