...packed neutrons, or a smaller "black hole"-a star so dense that its tremendous gravity prevents even light from escaping. The 1967 discovery of pulsars, since identified as neutron stars, seemed to support this explanation of how stars die. Now, observations of Kowal's supernova may help to confirm...

After he got out early last year, Gallo said he wanted to bring blacks into the Syndicate...
