Magnetards would be a great name for a band.

Unless it went nova around 600 years ago, you’ll never know.

The sun features an outer layer of convective activity that produces strong magnetic fields, but most massive stars are without this feature.

Is there a proof reader or copy editor left at the AP?

If the above is referring to our Solar System's star, as it appears to be intending, then this should be capitalized as the formal name; "The Sun". Or perhaps use the possessive here as in "Our Sun". As it stands here, the ap's grammar is as bad as their LEFTward bias, which is no real surprise!

Models suggest... maybe... possibly...

Good to see that cosmology has the same level of certainty as climatology.

"which are produced by the merging of two stars"

She's going to give a presentation on Mergers and Acquisitions. Right after her briefing on Risk Management.
