Neutron Stars


About Neutron Stars

A neutron star is a dense cinder left behind after a supernova. It contains approximately the mass of our sun while being only about ten miles (fifteen kilometers) in diameter.

Some neutron stars radiate more energy in one second than our sun radiates in one week.

Neutron stars emit x-rays. The frequencies of these x-ray emissions when rendered as audio files are nearly pure tones.

When two or three of them play at once, we can hear a chord.
