Neutron Stars

Imagine a spherical object with a diameter of only twenty kilometers, but two to three times more massive than our Sun. Such are neutron stars, mysterious and amazing. They make six hundred rotations per second, and their rotation is so... regular that in the near future they will likely play the role of a galactic navigation system, guiding people to other worlds. Science journalist Katya Moskvit invites readers on a journey through observatories around the world and the expanses of the Universe. She tells about multi-channel astronomy, pulsars, magnetars, the fabulous bursts of supernovae, and many other astonishing objects and events in our Universe. This is a book about "zombies from space" - about the lives of stars after death.
