  How big are neutron stars?
  
  With the help of X-ray pulses can soon be determined by the diameter of neutron stars.
  Neutron stars are in the list of the most remarkable celestial body is a one of the top places.
  
  Essentially, these products are considered to oversized atomic nuclei of the material of which the proverbial spoonful weighs as much as an entire mountain. For decades, researchers are trying to figure out how big - or rather, how small - Neutron stars are.
  
  Thanks to a satellite and a little luck, they seem to have found a way. The breakthrough is the Rossi X-Ray Timing thanks Explorer, which can measure the arrival of a photon with an accuracy of one millisecond
