🪐 The magnetar Swift J1818.0−1607, discovered in 2020, has one of the fastest spins ever seen—rotating once every 1.36 seconds—and its magnetic field is up to a thousand trillion times stronger than a regular fridge magnet. Magnetars like Swift J1818.0−1607 are rare neutron stars with magnetic forces so intense they can reshape atoms and trigger sudden bursts of high-energy X-rays and gamma rays, making them some of the most extreme objects in the Milky Way. ✨ #magnetars⚡#neutronstars⚡#extrememagnetism⚡#nasa⚡#galaxy⚡#stars⚡#astronomy⚡#universe⚡#cosmos⚡#space 👉subscribe Universe Mysteries 👉more Channels ​

🪐 The magnetar SGR 1900+14, located about 20,000 light-years away in the constellation Aquila, holds one of the strongest magnetic fields ever measured—over 100 trillion times stronger than Earth's. When its magnetic field twists and snaps, SGR 1900+14 unleashes enormous flares of X-rays and gamma rays that can briefly outshine every other X-ray source in our galaxy. ✨ #magnetars⚡#neutronstars⚡#extrememagnetism⚡#nasa⚡#galaxy⚡#stars⚡#astronomy⚡#universe⚡#cosmos⚡#space 👉subscribe Universe Mysteries 👉more Channels ​

🪐 Deep in the constellation Vulpecula, the magnetar 1E 2259+586 unleashes magnetic fields so powerful—over 100 trillion times stronger than Earth's—that they can physically warp the star's crust. When these intense magnetic forces crack the surface, they release bursts of high-energy X-rays and gamma rays, briefly making the magnetar outshine every other X-ray source in its region of space. ✨ #magnetar⚡#neutronstar⚡#extrememagnetism⚡#nasa⚡#galaxy⚡#stars⚡#astronomy⚡#universe⚡#cosmos⚡#space 👉subscribe Universe Mysteries 👉more Channels ​
