A Lonely Neutron Star
This image, combining data from Hubble, ROSAT, and EUVE, shows an isolated neutron star. Neutron stars are the super-dense remnants of massive stars. This particular star is testing the limits of how large a star can be without collapsing into a black hole. Astronomers are using its brightness, temperature, and distance to determine its size.
