Scientists have discovered the heaviest neutron star ever, devouring its stellar companion while spinning on its axis 707 times per second. The record-setting collapsed star dubbed 'PSR J0952-0607' has a mass 2.35 times that of the Sun. It is located 20,000 light years away from Earth. Scientists believe that on growing further, the body will vanish as a black hole.
