![]() ![]() There, gravity is so powerfully dominant that it has collapsed the electron shells of the atoms which made up the original star, and forced the electrons to fuse with the protons in the atomic nucleus (in a process known as Reverse Beta Decay), giving rise to a unique state of matter that is, essentially, a single, enormous atomic nucleus, composed almost entirely of Neutrons! This Neutronium is betwen 65 and 109 Trillion times the average density of material from Earth. Neutron Stars are imploded stellar cores. Additionally, compact stars tend to be composed of exotic matter, which would be incredibly dense! For example, White Dwarf Material tends to be about 200,000 times more dense, on average than material from earth. ![]()
