New Type of Star
Rob Riggs writes
"NASA has detected a new type of neutron star, called a
magnetar. Their
press release states that, on August 27, one sent
out a burst of gamma rays so strong that affected our
own atmosphere -- from 20,000 light years away! The star,
SGR1900+14, has a magnetic field
about 800 trillion times stronger than Earth's. "
