... We can estimate the volume of a key as about 1 cubic centimeter, or about 10−6 m3 . Thus, the mass of the neutron star material key would be m 1012 kg! Since one ton is 907 kg (or about 1000 kg, or so), then the key would have a weight of about a billion tons! This seems excessive, even for Superman ...

Corvus (constellation)
Corvus is a small constellation in the Southern Celestial Hemisphere. Its name comes from the Latin word ""raven"" or ""crow"". It includes only 11 stars with brighter than 4.02 magnitudes. One of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd-century astronomer Ptolemy, it remains one of the 88 modern constellations. The four brightest stars, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, and Beta Corvi from a distinctive quadrilateral in the night sky. The young star Eta Corvi has been found to have two debris disks.
