NEUTRON STARS ARE SO DENSE, THAT A SOUP CAN FULL OF NEUTRON STAR

MATERIAL WOULD HAVE MORE MASS THAN THE MOON

BY ASTRONOMICAL DEFINITION, THE NEUTRON STAR IS A STELLAR REMNANT
IN THE STATE OF SUPERHIGH DENSITY.
-------------------------------SCIENTISTS BELIEVE THAT WE CAN ONLY SEE ABOUT 5% OF THE MATTER IN
THE UNIVERSE. THE REST IS MADE UP OF INVISIBLE MATTER (CALLED DARK
MATTER) AND A MYSTERIOUS FORM OF ENERGY KNOWN AS DARK ENERGY.

UNSURE UNIVERSE
ALL THE STARS, GALAXIES, AND BLACK HOLES IN THE UNIVERSE ONLY
COMPRISE ABOUT 5% OF THE MASS OF THE UNIVERSE. AS CRAZY AS IT
SOUNDS, THE OTHER 95% IS UNACCOUNTED FOR. SCIENTISTS DECIDED TO
LABEL THIS MYSTERY MATERIAL DARK MATTER AND TO THIS DAY THEY ARE
STILL NOT SURE WHERE OR WHAT IT IS ...

OTHER' ~ Edward Frenkel - Mathematician & Author

SCIENCE AND SCIENTIFIC IDEAS HAVE LONG INSPIRED ART AND ARTISTS,
FROM LEONARDO DA VINCI TO DALI ...
SO IN SOME SENSE, THIS IS NOTHING NEW: SCIENCE IS SIMPLY PART OF A
LARGER CULTURAL DISCOURSE WITH WHICH ART CAN ENGAGE.
--ARTISTS AND SCIENTISTS: MORE ALIKE THAN DIFFERENT ...
IT IS KNOWN THAT THE SIMILARITIES BETWEEN ARTISTS AND SCIENTISTS ARE
FAR OUTWEIGH THEIR STEREOTYPICAL DIFFERENCES ...

HUBBLE, THE OBSERVATORY, IS THE FIRST MAJOR OPTICAL TELESCOPE TO BE
PLACED IN SPACE, THE ULTIMATE MOUNTAINTOP. ABOVE THE DISTORTION OF
THE ATMOSPHERE, FAR FAR ABOVE RAIN CLOUDS AND LIGHT POLLUTION,
HUBBLE HAS AN UNOBSTRUCTED VIEW OF THE UNIVERSE.

AUTHOR AND SCIENCE COMMUNICATOR)
