[edit intro]

A neutron star is the remnant of a star that had sufficient mass to explode in a supernova, but not so much mass that it forms a black hole instead of a neutron star. Unlike the neutrons and protons in an atomic nucleus, which are bound together by the strong nuclear force, the neutrons in a neutron star are bound together by gravity.
