Insight-HXMT’s discovery of the fundamental electron cyclotron absorption line near 146 keV for the first Galactic ultraluminous X-ray pulsar Swift J 0243.6+6124. Neutron stars have the strongest ...

If you approached a neutron star, you would be instantly crushed by gravity and fried by X-rays, while your very atoms would be torn apart by magnetic fields and gravity – making you a splattered ...
