A [[neutron]] star is the remnant of a [[star]] that had sufficient mass to explode in a supernova, but not so much mass that it forms a [[black hole]] instead of a neutron star. Unlike the [[neutron]]s and [[proton]]s in an atomic [[Nucleus_(disambiguation)|nucleus]], which are bound together by the strong nuclear force, the neutrons in a neutron star are bound together by [[Gravitation|gravity]].

A neutron star is the remnant of a star that had sufficient mass to explode in a supernova, but not so much mass that it forms a black hole instead of a neutron star. Unlike the neutrons and protons in an atomic nucleus, which are bound together by the strong nuclear force, the neutrons in a neutron star are bound together by gravity.
