Astrophysicists at the State University of New York, Stony Brook, and University of California, Berkeley created 3D simulations of X-ray bursts on the surfaces of neutron stars. Two views of these X-ray bursts are shown: the left column is viewed from above while the right column shows it from a shallow angle above the surface. The panels (from top to bottom) show the X-ray burst structure at 10, 20 and 40 milliseconds of simulation time. Credit: Michael Zingale, Department of Physics and Astronomy at SUNY Stony Brook
