Neutron Stars are More Ridiculous Than You Think

Delve into the enigmatic realm of neutron stars—stellar remnants that defy our conventional understanding. Once blazing stars, now they stand as super-heavy celestial entities with masses that boggle the mind. Join us as we explore the mysteries and incredible properties of these cosmic zombies, revealing insights into their formation and the secrets they hold within. Discover the awe-inspiring world of the universe's heaviest stars!

Finding all of these channels is like collecting infinity stones

Eventually Simon with have a dedicated channel for every possible topic on earth.

This dude just sits in a room and talks for 27 hours a day 16 days a week.

Glad to see an astroghraphics channel. The space videos on geographics are my favorite.

The mass of a Neutron Star is as mind boggling as the distance between the stars themselves! Truly astounding!

[MrRandomcommentguy]

Neutron stars illustrate very effectively the fact that most matter is comprised almost entirely of empty space

i think neutron stars are cooler than black holes because they are on just the right side of being "comprehensible" on a surface level, but absolutely absurd in every possible way on a practical level

Correction: the first gravitational waves were found on September 14 2015 when two black holes collided some 1.3 billion light years away. Not in 2017 with neutron stars. I'm pretty familiar with it because Sep 14 is my birthday and the LIGO detector is 30 minutes down the highway from my house. It was peculiar when they announced the discovery because I had just been discussing in depth with a friend of mine the possibility of gravitational waves and I was telling him about LIGO since I'd visited the facility on a tour when I was much younger. Around 2000 to 2001, my dad brought me, my brother, my cousin, and a couple friends to the LIGO facility here in LA and they let us walk down one of the arms. It was a memorable tour and my dad bringing us there was completely out of the blue.

Space is so incredible that at times you dont know whether to be fascinated, confused or scared by the magnitude of the phenomena happening in it constantly.

Good, I needed a new Simon channel after dropping Biographics/Geographics

[racing]

I remember talking about a potential astrographics channel on the old geographics channel years ago. Awesome that it’s here now!

[xXBloodyFangsXx]

A new finally 😂 I really cannot get enough of Simon and all his facts. To be honest you could probably talk about anything and we would all watch it. 🖤

[Ashmodi]

Simon! I’m so excited for this new channel! ❤

[pseudotasuki]

The fact that neutrinos carry the energy of a supernova is truly insane.

[ambergristones]

Simon, having conquered youtube, history, and all of the Earth, sets his sights on the rest of the Universe.

[WheelgunsOnWheels]

They’re able to be so dense because the particles that comprise them aren’t just empty space like regular atoms are between their electron clouds and their nucleus. The electrons are attached to the protons which is what makes them neutrons.

[Thomas-xmym]

Easily the most fascinating thing in the universe. Never get tired of hearing about it

[kylebroussard]

*i love how learning about space makes me feel incredibly small* it’s comforting and inspires wonder

[revoltx]

Lets go, Thanks Simon + team for the new channel and the hard work you guys do

[charleymurphy]

How did I miss that Simon has finally made Astrographics, been asking for it for ages. You go factboy !
