A new mass record for a neutron star makes us reconsider how much matter spacetime can handle.

Astronomers have weighed a record-breaking neutron star—it's 2.35 times heavier than the Sun. This changes our picture of how much matter nature can hold before collapsing into a black hole.

🎯 A teaspoon of neutron star stuff weighs about 10 billion tons—roughly a miniature Mount Everest.

🎬 The concept of neutron stars inspired science fiction writer Robert Forward to write 'Dragon's Egg,' in which exotic life evolves on such an object.
