They might be, if they passed closely enough, or if they were big enough. Spacecraft could experience severe tidal stresses if they passed too close to a neutron star or to a black hole.
Science Fiction author Larry Niven wrote a story "Neutron Star" about fictional spacecraft's close approach to a neutron star.

How do tidally locked planets rotate in relation to their orbit around their host star?
Tidally locked planets rotate in a way that one side always faces their host star, while the other side remains in constant darkness. This means that the rotation of the planet is synchronized with its orbit around the star.
Are all moons in our solar system tidally locked?
No, not all moons in our solar system are tidally locked. Tidally locked means that the same side of the moon always faces its planet. Some moons, like Earth's moon, are tidally locked, but others, like Jupiter's moon Europa, are not.
Which planets do you think would have great extremes of temperature on the different sides?
Mercury and Venus would likely have the most extreme temperature differences between their day and night sides due to their lack of atmosphere and proximity to the Sun. Additionally, tidally-locked exoplanets, where one side always faces their star, could also experience vast temperature variations depending on their distance from the star.
Why does the sun shine on only one side of the earth at a time?
As in realestate : location, location, location.
Is Venus tidally locked to the Sun?
Ah, let's paint a little picture of Venus for you now. The lovely Venus is almost tidally locked to the Sun, meaning it rotates so slowly compared to its orbit that one day is longer than one year. Just like how we can take our time with each brushstroke, Venus takes its time dancing in rhythm with the Sun. Quite a beautiful dance, wouldn't you say?
What planet was tidally locked in the movie Star Trek Nemesis?
Romulus and Remus are tho two planets tidally locked in star trek nemesis
What is the Bootes Galaxy?
The Boötes Dwarf Galaxy is a dwarf spheroidal galaxy which appears to be tidally disrupted by our own Milky Way.It lies about 197,000 light years away in the Bootes constellation
Which planets in your solar system rotate on their axis?
All of them. A few satellites are tidally locked to their primary (luna for example), but all the planets rotate.
Are all the moons face locked with their planets?
In the long run, it's likely that every large moon either is or will become tidally locked so that one face of the moon will continually face the primary.
How do tidally locked planets rotate in relation to their orbit around their host star?
Tidally locked planets rotate in a way that one side always faces their host star, while the other side remains in constant darkness. This means that the rotation of the planet is synchronized with its orbit around the star.
Are all moons in our solar system tidally locked?
No, not all moons in our solar system are tidally locked. Tidally locked means that the same side of the moon always faces its planet. Some moons, like Earth's moon, are tidally locked, but others, like Jupiter's moon Europa, are not.
Do revolution and rotation have the same period?
No, when an object is revolving it is either: 1.following a fixed orbital path around another object (the Earth around the Sun), or 2.rotating on an axis (the Earth does both). When the object makes one full trip around it's orbit or one full turn on its axis that is ONE revolution. One revolution of the Earth around the Sun is a year. One revolution of the Earth about its axis is 24 hours.
What is the mean surface of the darkside of Saturn?
Saturn does not have a dark side. It is not tidally locked.
Does the moon orbit counterclockwise or clockwise?
Counter-clockwise. All the planets are in counter-clockwise orbits around the Sun, and all but Venus and Uranus have counter-clockwise rotation (as seen from above the ecliptic plane). The moon is tidally-locked with the Earth so that its rotational and orbital periods are the same.
What is the meaning of the term tidal locking as related to astronomy?
Tidal locking refers to when an object in orbit around another object always has the same face pointing towards the planet - the time taken for one rotation of the body would therefore be the same time that it takes to orbit once around the object that it is tidally locked to. This does not occur by chance, the irregular mass distribution of an orbiting body will cause it to become tidally locked over time, but further back in time it may have spun at a different rate. One example of a tidally locked object is our moon. It is tidally locked to the earth, meaning that the same face always faces the earth. It is thought that this may have not always been the case but has happened over time. Other moons in our solar system are also locked to their planets. In some cases, both object may eventually become tidally locked to each other, two objects in orbit about one another may reach a state where they both always have the same face directed at each other.
Nebular hypothesis of the formation of the earth?
Early attempts to explain the origin of this system include the nebular hypothesis of the German philosopher Immanuel Kant and the French astronomer and mathematician Pierre Simon de Laplace, according to which a cloud of gas broke into rings that condensed to form planets. Doubts about the stability of such rings led some scientists to consider various catastrophic hypotheses, such as a close encounter of the Sun with another star. Such encounters are extremely rare, and the hot, tidally disrupted gases would dissipate rather than condense to form planets.
Which pair of planets comes closed to being a double planet?
Pluto and Charon are the closest bodies in our solar system to an answer to this question, however, neither is a planet. Pluto used to be, but times change. When Pluto was a planet, it and its moon, Charon, were the closest in size of any of the planets. Currently the planet and moon with that distinction is the earth and its moon, the Moon. But no two bodies within our solar system which are classified as planets are considered double.
