Answer 1

Thanks for the question!

It is definitely a very interesting question to solve and do some brainstorming.

**************************************************

A Neutron star is by nature very hot and radioactive, infact, they are considered as planetary objects with a mass about 1.4 times than that of the Sun, the biggest star in the universe.

They measure between 10 and 20 km, have very high density, and have predominantly a pack of neutrons.

They have formed due to the supernova explosion of a massive star, combined with gravitational collapse altogether.
