"Space Telescope Discovers Neutron Star in Remnants of Supernova"

NASA's Webb Space Telescope has confirmed the transformation of a star that exploded in a supernova in 1987 into a neutron star, an incredibly dense object in the universe. The telescope detected two chemical signatures of argon and sulfur, indicating the presence of a pulsing super-hot neutron star in the debris. This discovery will help astronomers better understand neutron stars and their role in seeding the universe with important elements. The neutron star, located in a nearby galaxy, is densely packed and only 12 miles from end to end, yet weighs 1 1/2 times our sun. This marks the first time modern astronomy has witnessed the birth and early years of a neutron star, providing valuable insights into these exotic cosmic objects.
