A neutron star is the smallest and densest kind of star . It is about 20 km in diameter and have more than 1.4 times the mass of our Sun. This means that a teaspoonful would weigh a billion tons!

But when the star begins to die, the gravity in the star makes the outer layer collapse inwards with such force that the centre is crushed to solid neutrons because the electrons and protons are forced together to make neutrons.

But a mirror image is always reversed.
