Exoplanet composition may be much more varied and weird than we thought.
When stars collapse under their own gravity, they can leave behind a neutron star or black hole — provided that the star is massive enough. In a binary star system, this can lead to some pretty wicked interactions. When stars collapse under their own gravity, they can leave behind a neutron star or maybe a […]
