This supercomputer simulation shows what happens when two neutron stars collide, merge, and become a black hole. This is one of the most powerful events that can occur in the universe. When a star with 8 to 30 times the mass of the Sun explodes as a supernova, its dense core is left behind.

This is called a neutron star. A neutron star has about 1.5 times the mass of the Sun and is compressed into a sphere 19 kilometers in diameter. At the start of the simulation, a pair of neutron stars with unequal masses is displayed. Their masses are 1.4 and 1.7 times the mass of the Sun. They are only about 11 miles apart, which is slightly smaller than their respective diameters. Areas with lower density were represented by a more red color.

As the stars winding toward each other, they begin to induce pulverized by streams that go through them, which may break their layers. Neutron stars are exceptionally thick, with densities a million times that of gold, but their external layers are not exceptionally thick. Their centers smash matter much more, and the thickness goes up by a figure of 100 million. Consider that a cubic centimeter of neutron star fabric weighs more than Mount Everest to urge an thought of how thick these things are. Researchers think that brief gamma-ray bursts happen when neutron stars like this one combine together (GRBs). Brief GRBs final less than two seconds, but they deliver off as much vitality as all the stars in our world do in a year.
