Some neutron stars rotate so fast that when they emit radiation it sends it off in every direction. This is referred to as a "lighthouse effect" and neutron stars become pulsars.

Neutron stars are incredibly reactive, hence the emission of radiation. They produce so much energy that neutrons can become charged protons and form new elements during the energy emission and radiation. Some of the elements produced are gold and platinum!

Neutron stars are the result of a supernova from a red super giant that was approximately 10-15 times the mass of Sol. If it were any bigger the star would become a black hole instead.

In volume (size), neutron stars are about 18 miles in radius - only twice the size of Baltimore! These stars however, are so densely packed with neutrons that they emit x-ray and gamma radiation from there poles to release the energy created.
