A neutron star is the remnant of a supernova explosion. Such stars are composed almost entirely of neutrons.

A typical neutron star has a mass between 1.35 and about 2.1 solar masses, with a corresponding radius of about 12 km

A neutron star is so dense that one teaspoon (5 millilitres) of its material would have a mass over 5 trillion kg. The force of gravity is so strong that an object falling from just one meter high would take a microsecond to hit the surface but at around 2,000 kilometres per second, or 4.3 million miles per hour.
