Magnetars have the strongest magnetic fields in the universe
Magnetars, ultra-dense neutron stars, possess magnetic fields trillions of times stronger than Earth's, unleashing energy bursts that reveal extreme cosmic physics.
Magnetars are rare neutron stars with magnetic fields trillions of times stronger than Earth's. These cosmic powerhouses, formed from exploded massive stars, boast fields estimated between 10^12 and 10^15 gauss. Such extreme magnetism can distort atoms and even influence the star's structure over time.
