Dark Matter May Have Come Before the Big Bang! SciShow News
A new study provides mathematical evidence that dark matter could be much older than we thought and we've found a weird glitch in a neutron star.

Neutron Stars
In the aftermath of a 8 – 20 solar mass star’s demise we find a weird little object known as a neutron star. Neutrons stars are incredibly dense, spin rapidly, and have very strong magnetic fields. Some of them we see as pulsars,...
