Chandrasekhar Limit

The Chandrasekhar Limit is the limit when a white dwarf exceeds a certain mass (1.44 solar masses) it is no longer able to support itself by electron degeneracy pressure, and then becomes (most likely) a neutron star.

It's amazing the lengths to which some people will go to relieve the boredom of a long boat trip.
