US Politics | Mysterious space object that defies our understanding of the universe may finally have an explanation, scientists reveal
A ...STRANGE STAR' has recently been discovered, scientists say. It has been changing our scientific understanding of physics relating to stars. 
GettyA neutron star found by scientists may meet the criteria for a never before seen ...strange star,... research says '/ ' Just a few thousand lightyears away, a tiny dense object is surrounded by its own remains from a stellar explosion, Science Alert reported. The object, which is believed to be a neutron star, has a mass that is only 77 percent that of the Sun. Prior to this, the lightest neutron star was a whopping 1.17 times the Sun's mass. This new ...strange star... is not only smaller, but it's also drastically lower than the lowest mass of a neutron star that previously-produced theories thought possible, according to the outlet.

EYES TO THE SKIES Nasa reveals stunning 12-year time-lapse of the entire night sky Two things become possible from this revelation: either neutron stars are not what they are currently thought to be, or this kind of star is something scientists have never seen before. A neutron star is one of the densest objects in the universe and is thought to be composed of the remains of a massive (between 8 and 30 times the mass of the Sun) star after its star death. When the core of a star stops being sustained by the outward leaning pressure caused by fusion, the core caves in on itself, and a very dense object forms. Electrons and protons mingle with each other in this space and become neutrons.

While heavy stars can morph into black holes, light stars metamorphize into white dwarfs, which are even less dense than the expected neutron star.

These quarks are subatomic particles that come together to make protons and neutrons, Science Alert says. While quarks come in six different varieties, up, down, strange, top, bottom, and charm, protons and neutrons only consist of up and down quarks. Read More on The US Sun
