Magnetar And The Devil's Bible

Magnetar is a rare, small, fast-spinning neutron star or celestial body about 15,000 light years away in the constellation Sagittarius. The star is only 9 mile across and periodically shoots out huge cataclysms of X-ray emissions. It contains as much mass as the sun and has one of the most powerful magnetic fields in the universe despite its size. Based on the study conducted with the European Space Agency's XXM-Newton orbiting telescope, its magnetic field is 600 trillion times that of Earth's.
