Size comparison of the Cosmos !!

Image
Having fun with the mind-blowing scale of the universe! W ant to feel microscopic, absolutely mind-bogglingly small? Or maybe you’d like to be bigger than gigantic, a universe in yourself?  The Scale of the Universe 2  by Cary Huang is one of the coolest websites out there, fun for both kids and grownups. It’s been around for a while, but having only recently learned of it myself, I thought maybe you haven’t experienced it either. . This screenshot gives you only a rough idea of the site. The beauty of it is that you can zoom in and out. Way, way in and way, way out, from the smallest theorized object (strings from string theory) to the circumference of the known universe. You start at human size and can zoom larger or smaller, comparing the sizes of objects along the way. We exist and observe our world from a narrow sliver of the vast continuum of scale. Things that are only marginally bigger than we are seem huge to us (look at the Amphilicoelias fragilimus, a 60-m

Neutron Stars.

Neutron star Radiation from the  pulsar   PSR B1509-58 , a rapidly spinning neutron star, makes nearby gas glow in  X-rays (gold, from  Chandra ) and illuminates the rest of the  nebula , here seen in  infrared  (blue and red, from  WISE ). A  neutron star  is the collapsed  core  of a large star which before collapse had a total of between 10 and 29 solar masses. Neutron stars are the smallest and densest stars known to exist. [1]  Though neutron stars typically have a radius on the order of 10 kilometres (6.2 mi), they can have masses of about twice that of the Sun. They result from the supernova explosion of a massive star, combined with gravitational collapse, that compresses the core past the white dwarf star density to that of atomic nuclei. Once formed, they no longer actively generate heat, and cool over time; however, they may still evolve further through  collision  or  accretion . Most of the basic models for these objects imply that neutron stars are compose
