    Damn, I knew the moon was just a slice of cheese, but I didn’t know that neutron stars were a dairy product, as well. The universe really hates lactose intolerant people.

    maybe they should’ve been a little more tolerant if they didn’t want to engulfed by a giant ball of plasma

    a dying neutron star

    A Black Dwarf is a thing, but not yet.

    Edit: nope, White Dwarfs have a different evolution path.

    Btw, what hapens with a pulsar after he’s done pulsing?

        They’re still neutron stars though. As far as we know the only ways for a neutron star to stop being a neutron star is for enough stuff to fall into them that they collapse into a black hole, two merge to become a black hole, or if they get eaten by a black hole. Otherwise neutron stars are just about the most stable things in the universe.

        Interestingly enough, the inner Layers of a neutron star are commonly modeled to have a temperature of 0K, since the extreme density prevents thermal movements
