✵✵✵✵✵ What are neutron stars? (Astronomy)
Stars are not eternal and unchanging - they are born, live their lives, and then die. The way a star dies depends on its mass. A low mass star ends as a white dwarf. A high mass star becomes a black hole. But in between, a star becomes a neutron star.
In this video we talk about which stars become neutron stars, and the physics behind their formation.

Y'all speak so clearly I really can't get over it. I dunno how large your team is but whoever is doing the writing and topic design deserve(s) a gold star (your presenters are great too, they speak clearly and emphatically.)

Eh.... I hit the subscribe button because she told me to. I thought I was stronger than that

Dying stars can become white dwarfs, black holes or neutron stars. This video talks about the formation of neutron stars and why they are sometimes called pulsars. #LearnMore

Well, I am most entertained by this engaging presenter.

You are amazing! Please go on with this project, especially with ASTRONOMY! The best ever!

Great video, Socratica team! I remember learning in school that neutron stars are so dense that one teaspoon of neutron star material has the equivalent mass of around 900 Great Pyramids of Giza (and if my math is correct, that's over 30 million locomotives). That fact really stuck with me and was one of those mind-blowing moments in my early education that really got me interested in science! It was great meeting some of you at VidCon last week. Keep up the great work!
-
