Physicists model more than one million equations of state

The abiding mystery of neutron star interiors may have been solved with the sweet revelation that, depending on their mass, they resemble different types of candy.

The results showing that they are like cosmic pralines come from modelling more than a million equations of state for neutron stars.

So far, little is known about the interior of neutron stars, those extremely compact objects that can form after the death of a star: the mass of our sun or even more is compressed into a sphere with the diameter of a large city. Since their discovery more than 60 years ago, scientists have been trying to decipher their structure. Science News | Cosmic Chocolate Pralines, General Neutron Star Structure Revealed: Research.

Life isn't really like a box of chocolates, but it seems that something out there is.

So far, not much is known about the inside of neutron stars, which are very dense objects that can form when a star dies. The mass of our sun or even more

The mass of our sun or even more is compressed into a sphere with the diameter of a large city in neutron stars, which can form following the death of a star

Grape growing and wine making in the area dates back to the 1700's, when some of California's first wine grapes were planted.
