Six fun ways to do History at home

1. “Go back in time” Try doing a simulation or a time period of your choice. It's a really fun and interactive way to do history. Just make sure to do your research first. :) 2. Make food from the time This is a great way to connect with a time period and have an idea of the daily life. 3. Read some books that are based on true events This is a fun way to not only do history but also literature. It's also (for me at least) more fun to read the information in the form of a story rather than just reading the information as facts textbook.  4. Create a timeline of notable events in a certain period of time This is a nice way to have a visual representation of the time and what events happened when.  5. Focus your studies on a cool little known event Rather than focusing on something super well known try to find a lesser-known event that interests you. 6. Call your grandparents This is a great way to not only learn about history but specifically...

Neutron Stars

     Neutron Stars          Fun fact:  A piece of a neutron star also known as  neutronium the size of a six-sided die weighs  400 million tons. Formation:  Neutron stars form when a star that is between 4 to 8 times the sun’s mass use up their available fuel. This causes their internal fusion reactions to cease. First, the star’s outer layers collapse. It then bounces off the thick core and blasts out as a powerful supernova.  The core then continues to collapse and ext remely high pressures are generated. These pressures are so high that protons and electrons are fused to create neutrons and lightweight particles called neutrinos are spread into the distant universe. This ends it the creation of a star made of 90% neutrons that are so tightly squeezed together they can’t be squeezed any further. This means the neutron star is broken down as far as possible
