In a constellation, named the 'Westerlund' some 16000 lightyears away, there found a magnetic neutron star estimated as 40 times heavy as our sun. This is strange, because according to theory, such heavy object should collapse into a black hole. But there seems existing a way out. Find the whole story here.
