Supernova remnant RCW 103

 NASA sharing the photograph of supernova remnant RCW 103, the space agency pointed out at the neutron star located at its heart. Astronomers define a neutron star as the collapsed core of a massive supergiant star after it undergoes a supernova explosion.

At the centre of the picture, there is a bright shining spot, which NASA describes as the Neutron star or the star which had exploded.

The space agency then further revealed that the mass of one cube matter of the neutron star would roughly be equal to the entire base of mount Everest.

Densly packed matter'

"Matter in a neutron star is packed together so tightly that a sugar-cube-sized amount of neutron star material would weigh more than 1 billion tons - roughly the weight of Mount Everest!," NASA's Chandra Ray observatory which shared the picture described.

While Supernovas or dead stars often make headlines, there are millions of young stars glinting across the universe too.
