Chalnoth said:There's a reaction where a proton and electron can combine to form a neutron and a couple of neutrinos...
This the answer that I have from Chalnoth in my other thread about nuclear fusion inside the sun (or star in main sequence).
And after iron burning in the core of massive star, the star explodes and leaves a neutron star (or a black hole) behind.
Is producing neutron in P+P reaction chains and producing neutron star a similar process?
