What Does NS Stand For?
NS stands for Neutron Star
NS, or Neutron Star, refers to a densely compact celestial object formed from the remnants of a supernova explosion, where protons and electrons combine to form neutrons. Characterized by extreme density and strong gravitational fields, neutron stars are typically about 1.4 times the mass of the Sun but compressed into a radius of only about 10 kilometers. They can exhibit significant magnetic fields and may rotate rapidly, emitting beams of radiation that can be detected as pulsars. Neutron stars provide valuable insights into the fundamental properties of matter under extreme conditions.
