Cool... reminds me of a scene in Robert L. Forward's famous sci-fi novel 
"Dragon's Egg", where the Cheela (a race of bizarre amoeba-like 
intelligent creatures living on a neutron star) successfully test their 
newly developed anti-gravity generator for the first time!

But the neutron star's surface didn't exactly look like the classical 
checkered plane, it was brightly glowing in a yellowish white - while 
the horizon is pretty much like on Dragon's Egg - a slightly glowing 
thin vapour of hyper-compressed iron atoms extending just a few 
centimetres upward from the surface.
