Astronomers have detected a neutron star which beggars belief, being so big it challenges our understanding of extreme objects in the universe. The pulsar, with the catchy name J0740+6620, is the first neutron star humans have detected measuring over two solar masses. Using the timing of its pulses, astronomers have calculated its mass to be roughly 2.14 times that of our sun, packed into an area just 30km across (the Sun is 1.391 million km across, so it's a tight squeeze). The object is close to the theoretical upper limit of 2.3 solar masses for a rotating neutron star, based on cutting-edge gravitational wave astronomy calculati
