Imagine a spherical object with a diameter of only twenty kilometers, but at the same time two to three times more massive than our Sun. These are neutron stars, mysterious and amazing. They rotate six hundred times per second, and their rotation is so regular that in the near future they are likely to play the role of a galactic navigation system, guiding people to other worlds. Scientific journalist Katya Moskvich invites readers on a journey to observatories around the world and across the vastness of the Universe. She talks about multi-channel astronomy, pulsars, magnetars, enchanting supernova explosions and many other amazing objects and events in our Universe. This is a book about “zombies from space” - about the life of stars after death. The publishing layout of the book is saved in PDF A4 format.
