Abstract
This lecture introduces neutron stars as compact remnants of stellar explosions. It examines the balance against gravitational collapse, their extreme densities and the observational role of pulsars. The Crab pulsar provides a concrete example, while the possible composition of matter deep inside these objects motivates further research.
