| 1. Compression continues until the free electrons in the core are forced to combine with the protons in the core to form a core of only neutrons. |
| 2. These neutrons are then compressed until they generate a “neutron degenerate” pressure that act similarly to electron degenerate pressure. |
| 3. Stars that cannot overcome this pressure end their lives as “Neutron Stars”. |
| 4. Neutron stars have a strong magnetic field that can pulse as observed from Earth due to their rotation. This is similar to a lighthouse. |
