🪐 In the heart of the Milky Way, the magnetar Swift J1818.0−1607 was discovered in 2020 and boasts a magnetic field over a quadrillion (1,000,000,000,000,000) times stronger than Earth's. This incredible power can twist and crack the surface of the magnetar, triggering sudden explosions of X-rays and gamma rays that ripple through space—making magnetars some of the most extreme and mysterious stars known. ✨ #magnetars⚡#neutronstars⚡#extremespace⚡#nasa⚡#galaxy⚡#stars⚡#astronomy⚡#universe⚡#cosmos⚡#space 👉subscribe Universe Mysteries ​

🪐 The magnetar named J1745−2900, discovered near the center of our galaxy close to Sagittarius A*, has one of the most powerful magnetic fields ever measured—enough to disrupt radio signals and, in theory, even deform atoms into thin strings. This type of neutron star is so incredibly magnetic that its field would erase every credit card on Earth from a distance of half the Moon’s span, making J1745−2900 an extreme natural magnet impossible to recreate in any lab. ✨ #magnetar⚡#neutronstar⚡#extremespace⚡#nasa⚡#galaxy⚡#stars⚡#astronomy⚡#universe⚡#cosmos⚡#space 👉subscribe Universe Mysteries 👉more Channels ​
