but i wonder if it actually could be in the center of every galaxy.
cuz what else would hold all that stuff in orbit, a neutron star?
oh yeah and i heard a teaspoon of rock or somthin gfrom a nutron star would weigh like a trillion tons...
thats pretty messed up.
and how do pulsars work?
The new info on black holes in the centre of every galixy is an old theory. Most scienctists thought this was the right theory a long time ago. When we look into space, the further we look the more we look back in historiy.
Quasars are Galixys that is very young (Young because the light takes billions of years to reach us). When we look at quasars we see Black holes in some of them. Actually it is very possible that black holes creates galixys. If that is true that means that every galixys must have a black hole.
Pulsars: A pulsar is a rotation neutronstar. very powerful magneticfields is created when the star is rotating. The magnetic-field is very strong at the poles of the stars. because of the rotation the star "pulse" out gamma radiation. We can detect the gamma radiation on earth. We can not see a neutronstar it is way to small.
In a neutron star there is no atoms. Only neutrons. tehre is no electrons or protons. The neutrons is pack up on eachother with no space between thaem. That is the reason for the very high density of a neutron satr. Imagine this: Take the sun and put it into a spjere that is a couple of miles big. One spoon of thet sphere would weight billions of kg.
