"No supernova outbursts will occur;
when the collapse starts, nothing can stop it; and in an amazingly short
time we are left with a body which is so small but so massive that not
even light can escape from it. In other words, we have a Black Hole."
-Patrick Moore from Black Holes in Space
INTRODUCTION
A black hole is the remnants of a once massive star that has been crushed
in upon itself. A black hole usually forms from stars of 10 solar masses
or greater. When a star this massive runs out of fuel it does not
follow the regular path to become a white dwarf, no when a star this massive
runs of out fuel the outer layers start to fall inward with tremendous
force, past the point of forming a neutron star until our once massive
star has been transformed to a place in space-time where gravity is so
great that not even light can escape its pull....
Why do we care about neutron stars?
