Radio Astronomy: Neutron Star Surface Mapping

Update: 2019-12-18

Description

In this week’s episode we dive into the latest mystery uncovered about neutron stars. The NICER X-Ray telescope on-board the International Space Station delivered the first ever map of the surface of a neutron star. The results were unexpected and have further deepened the mysteries surrounding neutron stars.

The post Radio Astronomy: Neutron Star Surface Mapping appeared first on WORT-FM 89.9.
