Neutron stars have incredibly fast spin speeds, with the fastest known, PSR J1748−2446ad, rotating 716 times per second, meaning its equator travels at about 24% the speed of light (around 70,000 km/s). These extreme speeds are due to the conservation of angular momentum during the star's collapse, causing them to spin up to hundreds of times per second, acting like spinning tops that can approach their physical limits before tearing apart. #space #fast #trending #mustsee #solarsystem | Romario

What is a magnetar? Magnetars are a type of neutron star, an incredibly dense object composed mainly of very compact neutrons, which forms from the collapsed core of a massive star during a supernova. What distinguishes magnetars from other neutron stars is that they also have the most powerful known magnetic fields in the universe. For context, the strength of our planet's magnetic field has a value of approximately 0.25 Gauss, while a cooler magnet measures approximately 100 Gauss. Magnetars,
