Astrophysicist Fritz Zwicky of CalTech (who doubles in rocket propulsion) hopes to go gunning with the 200-inch for neutron stars and gravitational lenses. Various theories of stellar evolution tell how stars may be born and decline to stellar senility. Zwicky thinks that the last stage may be a star made up chiefly of neutrons. Since neutrons are very much denser than atoms, such stars might be only ten miles in diameter. Every cubic centimeter of their volume would weigh, Zwicky figures, about one million tons...
