Neutron Star at the heart of the Crab Nebula           What if I say that there is an object in the universe where gravity is so strong that if you try to go near it, that not only your body but your atoms will be torn apart. This object, Neutron Star, is one of the possible outcomes of a dead star. A Neutron star is named after the subatomic particle, Neutron, which comprises it. After it was hypothesized in 1933 by Walter Baade and Fritz Zwicky, the first observation was made in 1967 by Jocelyn Bell which confirmed it's existence. First Neutron Star discovered     When a star the size of more than 10 sun dies, goes supernova, the core of that star being massively dense, it collapses in on itself and even the atom gets torn apart and the subatomic particles like proton and electron combine to form a neutron (also you need to know that when a neutron decays it transforms into a proton, an electron, and an antineutrino, so the reverse is also true ...
