Finding strange stars Neutron is twice as massive as the Sun.

The research team at the NRAO Observatory, which manages the Green Bank telescopes, has discovered that the neutron star, named PSR J1614-223, belongs to the constellation Scorpio - more than 3,000 from our Earth. light year. Scientists say the weight of this star weighs twice as much as the Sun's weight.

Initially, neutron star PSR J1614-223 scientists estimated only 1.5 times the weight of the Sun. But after analyzing the data collected, the team was surprised to see this star much bigger than that.

Although the newly discovered neutron star has only the diameter of a small spectrum on Earth, it contains very heavy matter. Only a small spoonful of material on this star weighs up to 500 million tons.

Dr. Paul Demorest, of the NRAO observatory, said: ' This neutron star has twice the weight of the Sun. This is the biggest star ever found. Studying this star will help them understand more about physical phenomena that occur only in a very strong field that cannot be created on Earth .

Neutron stars are a hidden crystal that cannot be seen with the naked eye. This star emits beams of radio waves like light from a beacon. By the frequencies and wave signals obtained from the Earth, scientists can accurately calculate the weight and size of this star.
