🪐 At the heart of the supernova remnant Kes 73 lies the magnetar 1E 1841-045, which boasts a magnetic field over a thousand trillion times stronger than Earth's. These extreme fields can twist and shatter the crust of the neutron star—an object so dense that a sugar-cube-sized piece would outweigh Mount Everest—releasing bursts of powerful X-rays and gamma rays that briefly light up its cosmic neighborhood. ✨ #magnetars⚡#neutronstars⚡#xraybursts⚡#nasa⚡#galaxy⚡#stars⚡#astronomy⚡#universe⚡#cosmos⚡#space 👉subscribe Universe Mysteries 👉more Channels ​

🪐 The magnetar 1E 1048.1–5937 is famous for its mind-bending magnetic field—over 100 trillion times stronger than Earth's. These extreme magnetars can twist and snap their crusts, releasing bursts of X-rays and gamma rays so powerful they briefly outshine every other X-ray source in the galaxy when they erupt. ✨ #magnetars⚡#neutronstars⚡#xraybursts⚡#nasa⚡#galaxy⚡#stars⚡#astronomy⚡#universe⚡#cosmos⚡#space 👉subscribe Universe Mysteries ​
