- nyxerebos, on 07/09/2009, -2/+2"collapsed stellar cores left from the death explosions of massive stars" - massive stars form black holes when they nova. Neutron stars are the remnants of smaller stars, less than 5 solar masses.

"A typical neutron star has a mass between 1.35 and about 2.1 solar masses." That's AFTER it has gone nova and a majority of the matter has blown away. A typical neutron star itself is more massive than our sun, dude. A star has to be greater that 1.4 solar masses to create a neutron star.
Fail.
