Unique' neutron star system's activity captured by NASA

The video explains the characteristics of a neutron star, which has the mass of half a million Earths compressed into a sphere the size of Manhattan. It rotates 11 times per second and orbits a sun-like star every 21 hours. The star's magnetic field directs gas to its poles, creating hotspots that emit X-ray pulses. Matter from a companion star streams to the neutron star, causing thermonuclear reactions that produce intense X-ray spikes.
