Proton stars were the compacted remnants of the cores of giant stars and the result of gravitational collapse. They were made up of protons and occurred when, instead of protons and electrons being destroyed to form a neutron star, neutrons were destroyed and electrons blasted off into space, leaving only the protons. The proton material was unstable; due to the extreme repulsion between the particles, massive gravity was required to keep the star in shape. Proton stars often emitted gamma rays, alpha particles, and beta particles into space. These particles often orbited the star at high speeds, causing it to glow almost like a real star. Proton stars had a positive aura, where negative electrons were pulled the electrons from their atoms for miles around, and could prevent electricity as
