starquake
A starquake is a theoretical phenomenon that could occur in neutron stars. Neutron stars are the incredibly dense remnants of massive stars that have exploded as supernovae. They are composed primarily of neutrons, packed together so tightly that a teaspoonful would weigh billions of tons.
The intense gravity and exotic matter within a neutron star can create immense internal stresses. When these
The most observable effect of a starquake would likely be a sudden, temporary increase in the neutron
While starquakes are a well-accepted theoretical concept in astrophysics, directly observing them is challenging due to
