Neutron stars in fiction

(

)

Computer simulation of a neutron star

... that in fiction, neutron stars (pictured) harbour exotic lifeforms in their vicinity, on their surface, and even in their interior?

Source: "As well as on their surfaces and in their interiors, neutron stars also provide environments for unfamiliar forms of life in their immediate environs."

Approve hook and image Huh, I was just reading about usages of neutron stars in fiction the other day, so this is a funny coincidence (wait, I think I was literally reading the hook source article, whoa). Article was approved for GA on the 26th, so is new enough. At around 7000 characters, it is long enough. The article properly uses in-line citations and the copyvio detector finds no issues outside of the direct quotes used. The hook reads neutrally, is cited in-line (said reference is used in-line for much of the article besides, so easily meets that), and is interesting. The QPQ has been done and the image suggested is in the public domain and views fine on a smaller scale. Looks good to go! Silver seren^C 02:39, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
