'*** g96 1/22 p. 8 So Mysterious, yet So Beautiful ***

At the heart of the Crab Nebula lies one of the strangest and scariest objects in the known universe. According to scientists, the tiny corpse of a deceased star, compressed into unbelievable densities, spins in its grave 30 times per second, sending out a beam of radio waves that were first detected on earth in 1968. It is called a pulsar, described as a spinning supernova remnant so compressed that the electrons and protons in the atoms of the original star have been squeezed together to produce neutrons. Scientists say it was once the massive core of a supergiant star like Betelgeuse or Rigel in Orion. When the star exploded and the outer layers were blasted into space, only the shrunken core was left, a glowing white-hot cinder, its nuclear fires long extinguished.

Imagine taking a star as massive as two of our suns and squeezing it into a ball 10 to 12 miles [15 to 20 km] in diameter! Imagine taking the planet Earth and squeezing it down to 400 feet [120 m]. A cubic inch [16 cu cm] of this material would weigh more than 16 billion tons.

Even this does not appear to be the final word on compressed matter. If we were to shrink the earth all the way down to the size of a shooter?s marble, the earth?s gravitational field would finally become so strong that not even light could escape. At this point our tiny earth would seem to disappear inside what is called a black hole. Although most astronomers believe in them, black holes still have not been proved to exist, and they do not appear to be as common as was thought a few years ago.'

I would think so seeing they are the mass of two of our suns, the amount of gravity in one is unknown, the gas from it soins inward makeing very high tempatures, and nothing can escape once its fallen in.
so yeah i would say they are pretty scarry.
