[00:00:00]A magnetar's magnetic field is a quadrillion times stronger than Earth's.

[00:00:04]At 1,000 km, it would begin pulling the iron from your blood.

[00:00:09]Magnetars form when a neutron star is born spinning fast enough that its own rotation amplifies its magnetic field to a level that defies ordinary physics.

[00:00:18]In 2004, a magnetar 50,000 light-years away released a flare in 0.2 seconds that contained more energy than our sun emits in 250,000 years.

[00:00:29]It disrupted our ionosphere.

[00:00:31]Magnetars occasionally suffer starquakes, crust fractures releasing energy in milliseconds.

[00:00:37]A starquake on a magnetar releases more energy than our sun will produce in its entire lifetime.

[00:00:44]There are magnetars in our galaxy right now.

[00:00:47]Quiet.

[00:00:48]Stable.

[00:00:50]And we do not know when the next starquake is coming.
