The Strange Objects in our Universe
Quotations from Prof. Fred Lamb, UIUC Depts. Of Physics and Astronomy
There are objects in our universe that are:
More massive than our sun
About the size of Champaign-Urbana
Rotating at thousands of times per second
Radiating milions of times more energy than our sun (mainly x-rays)
Most of the radiation comes from a “hot spot” about the size of the UIUC campus
