light years away on the other side of the Milky Way GALAXY, lies a stellar monster. An object so dense it packs about the mass of the Sun in the size of a city. An object consisting almost entirely of neutrons. An object so MAGNETIC it can STRIP information from all credit cards on Earth at HALF the Moon distance. Welcome a magnetar.Just how powerful is the magnetic field of a magnetar?A magnetar (a type of neutron star) has a magnetic field as strong as 10¹⁴-10¹⁵ Gauss, making it the most magnetic object (known) in the Universe. To PUT things into perspective, here is a comparison of its field strength to other magnetic objects:✏️Earth’s magnetic field (which deflects compass needles) = 0.6 Gauss✏️A common commercial magnet = ~100 Gauss✏️Sunspots (the most magnetic parts of the Sun) = ~3,000 GaussMRI machines = Up to 70,000 Gauss✏️The strongest steady magnetic field produced in labs = 450,000 Gauss✏️Highly magnetized white dwarf stars = Up to 1 billion Gauss✏️Typical neutron stars = ~1 trillion Gauss
