Ryan & I had another one of our interesting trivia conversations, about the Pioneer 10 satellite, the mass of the neutron star & star nurseries He was so enthusiastic while sharing the space trivia, with matching sound effects and gestures pa. :)
The Pioneer 10 was the first satellite launched in 1970's, it carried a plaque with binary code, images & info on mankind, it was a serious undertaking to contact alien civilizations.
images and info carved on the plaque

Neutron star's gravitational pull is so massive, it spins or pulsates too quickly, regularly from fractions of a second to a few sec
calvera - Earth's nearest neutron star,located in the constellation Ursa Minor 250 light years away

Stars are "born" from the "womb" of dark and cold dust, clouds and gas.. thus called star nurseries. i got interested esp about the star nurseries,i was imagining "baby" stars wrapped in blanket with pacifiers. hehehe :))
