Neutron stars
< ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->
Black stars, or neutron stars, are what is left over when a star uses up all of its hydrogen and goes nova or supanova. Neutron stars are very small, but incredibly dense. Neutron stars also spin at very high speeds, and therefore emit radio pulses. These are called PULSARS. No information has been confirmed as to the existence of neutron stars, becasuse, as of yet, no satellites have come even close to one. If the star that dies is large enough to create a supernova, then a black hole is formed, and a tiny neutron star sits in the middle. Nothing can escape from a black hole, not even light, because its gravitational pull is so high.
