==Key Stage 4==
[[File:NeutronStar.png|right|300px|thumb|An artist's impression of a '''neutron star''' with [[plasma]] streaming in arcs due to the extremely intense [[Magnetic Field|magnetic field]].]]
===Meaning===
A '''neutron star''' is one of the possible last stages of a [[High Mass Star|high mass star's]] life in which the core has collapsed so much that it has become a single [[atom]] made of only [[neutron]]s.
===About Neutron Stars===
: After a [[High Mass Star|high mass star]] has gone [[supernova]] the core which remains is crushed so much that the [[atom]]s [[Nuclear Fusion|fuse]] together and all [[proton]]s turn into [[neutron]]s making one single [[atom]] made of [[neutron]]s.
: A '''neutron star''' is around 20km in [[diameter]].
