Neutron Star

Real World Example

Imagine you're cleaning out your closet and you find a huge pile of clothes that you need to sort through. Just as you sift through and compress these garments down to a compact pile to save space, a neutron star forms when the core of a massive star compresses under gravity after a supernova explosion. In both cases, you start with something large and cluttered—a messy closet or a massive star—and end up with something incredibly dense and compact, whether it’s your neatly stacked clothes or the dense core of neutrons left behind in space.
