[00:00:00]There is a type of star in the universe so powerful it can destroy its own surroundings.

[00:00:06]It's called a magnetar.

[00:00:09]A magnetar is a dead star with a magnetic field trillions of times stronger than Earth's.

[00:00:17]If one came as close as the moon, it could erase all data from every phone on Earth instantly. Even atoms near it get torn apart.

[00:00:27]It doesn't need to touch you to destroy you. Its energy alone is enough.

[00:00:32]Some magnetars release sudden bursts of energy called starquakes that send waves across the galaxy. These are some of the most extreme objects ever discovered in space and they are very real.
