Jul 23, 2019 · When the young star runs out of hydrogen, its core will once again begin to collapse. The extreme forces on the core causes it to heat up. Soon, the core is hot enough that it can begin to fuse helium into carbon and oxygen. Once again, nuclear fusion pushes back against gravity to prevent the star from collapsing.
The star collapses by its own gravity and the iron core heats up. The core becomes so tightly packed that protons and electrons merge to form neutrons. In less than a second, the iron core, which is about the size of Earth , shrinks to a neutron core with a radius of about 6 miles (10 kilometers).
