  Hello guys! Welcome back to AstroMe!   So, in my last blog, we learned about NEUTRON STAR. Before reading this post. I recommend you to read my previous post as this is a continuation. Check out Neutron Star .   Neutron stars can be mainly classified into two types:  magnetars  and  pulsars . Without any delay, let’s see about the types in detail.    MAGNETAR: They have  very strong   electromagnetic energy  from where they get their name. They  rotate more slowly  in comparison to all the neutron stars. For example, they rotate just three or four times in 20 seconds.  They generate very strong  X Rays  and  gamma rays.   Magnetars can be  active or inactive.   They are considered to be active when all the above points can be seen   They are inactive when they  lose their fuel and magnetic energy.     ...

Hey guys! Welcome back to AstroMe! Ready for another enthralling space adventure? Pack your bags and let’s travel to see and learn about one of the strangest objects in this universe. We're off!  If a star dies, it can become a white hole, black hole, or neutron star depending on its mass. We have already learned about black holes.  (Don't know anything about this yet?  check out this link Black holes )    Now let's learn about Neutron stars,  A neutron star is formed when a star with a mass of Chandrasekhar limit dies. Initially, they are formed through a supernova explosion. They rotate so fast that they produce so much magnetic energy. This energy can be the strongest one found in the entire universe. Protons and electrons combine in the explosion to form neutrons, and also some protons are left over. Protons and neutrons don't like to be with each other so they move apart. But the pressure causes them to attract and when it happens Ne...
