The closest extreme magnetic dead star or magnetar to Earth suddenly burst back to life to give astronomers a sight of unexpected and unexplained phenomena that are unlike anything seen before.

One of the weirdest stars in the Milky Way has just gotten even weirder.

After a decade of silence, one of the most powerful magnets in the universe suddenly burst back to life in late 2018.

‘We had never seen anything like this before,’ says researcher

Unusual radio pulses from a previously dormant magnetar have been detected by the CSIRO's Parkes radio telescope, also known as Murriyang.

Astronomers observe magnetar J1818 that is exhibiting very unusual activity J1818 was emitting unusual pulsar-like radio waves in May but by June, it had started flickering between magnetar and pulsar-like properties. Feb 03, 2021 12:07:09 IST Astronomers have seen some bizarre behaviour from a magnetar which is a type of neutron star that is considered to be one of the strongest magnets in the universe. The recent findings throw light on their magnetic property and hence will help scientists u...

Countless legal standards ask what the reasonable person would do. But who is this person? The reasonable person is not just the average person. Thats easily seen. Sometimes, average people do unreasonable things. This insight has led theorists to propose the reasonable person as some ideal person, such as the virtuous person, the person who achieves the best consequences, or the person who acts in accord with moral duty.But this is all too quick. The reasonable person isnt...

2 FEBRUARY 2021 New observations of a very unusual and mysterious star located approximately 15,000 light-years away from Earth have revealed a bizarre pattern of stellar activity that astronomers say theyve never witnessed before.   The star in question is called Swift J1818.0–1607, and it was only discovered last year. Swift J1818.0–1607 is whats known as a magnetar – a rare breed of neutron star, which forms when supergiant stars fail to go supernova, instead collapsing into incredib...
