Stars generally spin, because the material that fell into the center of the solar nebula wasn't perfectly aimed toward the center. As they collapsed, the nebula started spinning, conserving the angular momentum. When things shrink, in order for the total angular momentum to be maintained, they need to spin more quickly.
Our Sun is relatively typical, we believe, and spins once in about 26 days. If the Sun were to collapse into a neutron star (which it can't, because it isn't massive enough) it would need to spin about 5 times PER SECOND to have the same angular momentum. For most neutron stars, that's about how fast they spin.
If material falls to the surface of the neutron star, it will produce pulses of x-rays at that rate; we call this a "pulsar". You could call it a "flashing neutron star", and be mostly correct.

What is a red and green flashing star in the southeast sky?
What you saw was probably an airplane.
What is mooning some one?
Flashing your bare bottom.
What are action words to describe the sun?
flashing, illuminating, shining, etc.
What does the flashing light in the sky mean?
maybe its a plane lights or a helicopter going by
How much bigger is the largest star compared to the sun?
Suns and stars are the same thing. To put it another way, our sun is a star. Some insist that the word 'sun' be used exclusively for our local star. Our sun is a very ordinary star; there are many stars in the Milky Way that positively dwarf our sun in size.
Will the core of a high mass star turn into a nutron star?
It depends on the density. Low density = dwarf Medium density = neutron star High density = black hole
What is a negative nutron?
neutrons have no charge of their own, Neutron are neutrals
What are the examples of isotopes?
Hydrogen has three isotopes one proton and no nutron one proton and one nutron one proton and two nutrons
Where is the quake found in the nutron?
its found in a atom
Pioneer deh-p49001b flashing SW?
The joint star

Nutron

What is is the nutron count for iron?
it has 41 neutrons and 26 protons
The smallest particle of which matter consists?
Nutron, Electron or Proton
What is penetration power of nutron?
It depends on the kinetic energy the neutron has.
How do you do flashing words in your pres on star doll?
You cant its only for firefox users sorry
