How Neutron Stars Are Born! | KLT

The video explains the life cycle of a massive star, focusing on its collapse and the formation of a neutron star. It describes the process of nuclear fusion, the transformation of the star's core into iron, and the resulting supernova explosion. The video concludes with the formation of a neutron star, highlighting its density and gravitational strength.

What happens when hydrogen in a massive star's core is fused into helium?

• The core turns into iron.

• Energy is released, balancing gravitational forces.

• The star becomes unstable.

• The star immediately collapses.

What is the result when a star's core turns into iron?

• The star becomes a black hole.

• The star stabilizes and cools down.

• The star's core collapses, leading to a supernova.

• The star expands into a red giant.

What is a neutron star?

• A star that has expanded into a red giant.

• A star that has just begun nuclear fusion.

• The remnant core of a massive star after a supernova.

• A star that is about to explode.

How does the density of a neutron star compare to other celestial objects?

• It is as dense as a regular star.

• It is the densest object in the universe.

• It is less dense than a white dwarf.

• It is denser than any object except a black hole.

What would happen if a neutron star were any more dense?

• It would explode into a supernova.

• It would become a red giant.

• It would become a white dwarf.

• It would turn into a black hole.
