NEUTRON STAR
Just 548 light years from Earth, this massive red supergiant nearly 1,000 times larger than our Sun is about to explode- In 1967, US satellites searching for nuclear tests detected mysterious flashes from space. Decades later, scientists uncovered secrets of gamma-ray bursts, which can release more energy in 10 seconds than Sun will emit over its entire 10-billion-year lifetime
