A Lonely Neutron Star

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

This image, combining data from Hubble, ROSAT, and EUVE, shows an isolated neutron star. Neutron stars are the collapsed cores of massive stars. Astronomers can determine its size by measuring its brightness and temperature. Studying these lonely objects helps us understand the limits of how massive a star can be without becoming a black hole.
