But while her discovery rewrote our understanding of dead stars, she was quietly left out of the Nobel Prize that followed. In this video, we dive into the cosmic engines born from stellar death — neutron stars that spin hundreds of times per second, wrapped in magnetic fields a trillion times stronger than Earth’s. We’ll break down the science behind their power, how they form, and the stunning story of the young woman who found one… and was almost erased from history.
