A neutron star is what is left of the core of a massive star after it dies. The core collapses under the force of gravity, crushing itself from a size far larger than Earth to about the size of a city but still with a mass up to 3 times that of the sun. If it is any more massive it becomes a black hole.

What are two possible results of a supernova explosion?

The core of the star can collapse to form a neutron star or a black hole. The outer layers of the star can be ejected into space, enriching the surrounding interstellar medium with heavy elements.


Why does a neutron star make you so incredibly heavy?

Your weight depends on your mass and the strength of the gravity where you are. A neutron star has a mass 2-3 times that of the sun compacted into a very small area, resulting in a surface gravity billions of times stronger than on Earth. As a result, at the surface of a neutron star you would weigh several billion times what you do now.
