NEUTRON+STAR

=**__Neutron Star__**=

==A neutron star develops after a supernova has taken place, the aftermath of a nuclear reaction which occurs after the supernova causes the formation of a neutron star. According to current scientific research; a neutron star has a mass which is triple that of the sun; but it is believed only be about 20km in diameter, therefore it is thought that a teaspoon on a neutron star might have the mass of one billion tonnes! (1 tonne = 1,000kg). == 

==The neutron star is so very dense that it would be impossible to fly a plane, or even walk on a neutron star because of the massive gravitational pull that a neutrong star possess. Going into much futher depth; a neutron star forms when the nuclear reaction that takes place after the supernova causes so much gravity that protons and neutrons combine with electrons under the huge amounts of pressure pushing them down. The combination of protons and neutrons with electrons, they collaspe and neutrons get formed, the remaining neutrons form a neutron star during the nuclear reaction; where vast amounts of energy are excreted. ==  ==A different type of Neutron star is known as a pulsar, it is basically a neutron star that rotates at a really fast rate, and has a huge magnetic field, attracting asteroids and anything that comes with in the radius. A pulsar also gives away alot of radio waves as it rotates. ==  ==Group 1's report to the SETI is that we have throughly investigated all we needed to about Neutron stars, but we are sorry to inform the SETI, in reply to their question - no, a Neutron star is not in general a suitable place to host life, let alone human life. There is no water on the star, and the intense density will cause gravitational pressure that humans just won't be able to sustain. So SETI our offical report is that no, a Neutron star is not a sutiable location for human life by an possible scientifc means known to us yet. ==
