Boat Ride During a Neutron Star Collision.

​

Neutron stars are collapsed cores of massive stars. They are some of the smallest and most dense stellar objects in the universe, with the mass of our sun compacted in a 10 km radius. 

 

When two neutron stars collide, a kilonova is formed as a result of the immense amount of energy liberated. This event smashes subatomic particles together in a process called nucleosynthesis, creating heavy elements like gold.

 

The collision generates a gravitational force so strong it bends light around it and creates disruptions in space-time. 

 

In this fantastic composition, the consequences of such collision have painted the sky with gold and even splashed some of it onto the rocks. They have bent space-time and caused a parallel dimension to emerge, maybe for a few milliseconds, maybe for millions of years…
