Neutron stars are are rare and are dying suns. The electrons combine with the neutrons and that would create some negative charge. So it is lots of condensed debri.

The article mentions neutron stars having magnetic fields. Where do these fields come from? Since neutrons have no charge, I don't know what would cause it.

I think not 100% neutron
@LaMariposa ? all this time...
@CraeftSmith I could be way off base here. but perhaps there is another reason they call them neutron stars. Neutrons are part of an atom. There is a positive part of an atom, a negative, and a neutron. If they have a charge, there is probably some magnetic materials in the stars, which means positive/negative atoms. The will repel and attract.
the article also mentions the neutrons combine with electrons. Electrons are the negative charged part of an atom. Atoms are made up of protons, electrons, and neutrons. Electricity to occur you need the combination. Elections are considered negative. Electricity flows negative to positive. The dense debri field from the nova explosion creates a weak magnetized field, hence you must have the ELECTRONS, as the article states if you read it.

Posted by starwatcher-alSolar minimum was in 2019 so the sun is ramping up in flares, spots and prominences.
Posted by starwatcher-alI missed the early phases of the eclipse but the clouds mostly left during totality. All in all a great eclipse. Next one is Nov. 8-22

Posted by starwatcher-alOne of these days I think that I'll figure out this Nikon.
