This is an artist's impression of a magnetar, which is a special type of neutron star with an incredibly strong magnetic field. Neutron stars are some of the most compact and extreme objects in the universe. These stars typically pack more than the mass of the Sun into a sphere of neutrons about 12 miles across. The neutron star is depicted as a white-blueish sphere. The magnetic field is shown as filaments streaming out from its polar regions.Illustration: ESA

from Wikipedia:
A sugar cube of neutron star material would weigh approximately 1 trillion kilograms (or 1 billion tons) on Earth.

I’m still shocked and angry at the obamatar discovered in 2008 and the horrendous damage that it did to Earth...

These guys are funny. Believing they could know everything. They sure communicate as if they are certain about things that they are only guessing at.

If you shoot a proton at it, do you get a really cool isotope of hydrogen?
