Magnetars

Magnetars are a type of neutron star, which are incredibly dense remnants of massive stars after they explode as supernovae. What sets magnetars apart is their extraordinary magnetic fields, which are billions of times stronger than Earth's. This intense magnetism influences their behavior, causing powerful bursts of X-rays and gamma rays. These high-energy emissions make magnetars some of the most fascinating and energetic objects in the universe. Their magnetic fields can also impact space around them, affecting nearby matter and potentially leading to spectacular cosmic events.
