"Magnetars and Magnetic Stars: Unveiling the Secrets of the Universe's Strongest Magnets"

TL;DR Summary
Scientists have made progress in understanding the formation of magnetars, the most magnetic objects in the universe. A unique helium-rich star, known as a "massive magnetic helium star," has been found to contain a magnetic field trillions of times stronger than the Earth's. Researchers believe that this star will eventually collapse and explode, giving birth to a magnetar with a magnetic pull billions of times stronger. This discovery provides insights into the mysterious nature of magnetars and their formation, which has confounded scientists for decades.
