The Neutron Star With a Magnetic Field a Quadrillion Times Stronger Than Earth’s is the central question of this episode, approached through the evidence, measurements, and competing interpretations behind it.
How does A Star Twelve Times the Sun's Mass Runs Out of Fuel connect to The Core Collapses in Under a Second, what A New Kind of Object Is Born changes about the investigation, and why the boundary of the question remains difficult to define?
A quick note: the visuals in this video are illustrations built to accompany the science, not real photographs or footage of these events.
If a moment from this one stays with you, let me know which one in the comments, I read every one.

star's surface will have the impact of that a nuclear explosion, because of the hyper dense
gravity of the neutron star's mass which will impact it close to the speed of light.
