The formation of neutron stars represents
Position 1: Such extreme density gives neutron stars gravitational fields strong enough to bend light itself, making them invaluable laboratories for testing general relativity.
Position 2: When a massive star exhausts its nuclear fuel, its core collapses under gravity within a fraction of a second.
Position 3: The resulting neutron star may contain more mass than our Sun yet measure only about 20 kilometres in diameter.
Position 4: The formation of neutron stars represents one of the most dramatic events in stellar evolution.
Position 5: This collapse compresses protons and electrons together, producing an extraordinarily dense object composed almost entirely of neutrons.
