For all we know, it's simply an unusually large neutron star that's
going to last next to forever, with a surface gravity of perhaps 1e15
m/sec, and therefore what we can see is the photon event horizon
that's a good 1024r to start with. Next stop, black hole and serious
gamma. Good thing it's not headed our way, or pointing either pole
towards us when it morphs into a black hole.
