Probing Neutron Stars: NICER's Matter Exploration

Delve into the heart of neutron stars with NASA's Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) aboard the International Space Station. 💫 NICER's latest findings challenge our understanding of matter's limits in the extreme environments of neutron stars. 🌟 Discover how NICER's observations of PSR J0740+6620 shed light on the density and composition of neutron star cores, providing insights into whether matter remains intact or breaks down into quarks under immense pressure. 🛰️ Explore the implications for our understanding of fundamental physics and the nature of neutron stars. #NICER #NeutronStars #SpaceScience 🌌🔭
