| Description: Stellar Remnants White dwarf Small (some no larger than Earth) Dense Can be more massive than the Sun Spoonful weighs several tons Atoms take up less space Electrons displaced inward Called degenerate matter Hot surface Cools to become a black dwarf Neutron star Forms from a more massive star Star has more gravity Squeezes itself smaller Remnant of a supernova Gravitational force collapses atoms Electrons combine with protons to produce neutrons Small size Pea size sample Weighs 100 million tons Same density as an atomic nucleus Strong magnetic field First one discovered in early 1970s Pulsar (pulsating radio source) Found in the Crab Nebula (remnant of an A.D. 1054 supernova) Picture Stats: Views: 242 Filesize: 1.99MB Height: 957 Width: 935 Source: https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=39667 |
