Neutron Stars Found to Spew Jets of Matter, Just Like Black Holes

Neutron stars are one of the few ways a star ends its life. They are formed from the remaining of a massive star after it had already exploded into a supernova that condenses into an extremely dense core.

Galaxies Use "Seat Belts" Too
