Magnetar (1999)
So you thought your fridge magnet was pretty neat. You obviously haven't met the most
powerful magnet known to man. Magnetars are neutron stars, left over from the death
of a giant star. Their density and rapid rotation (several times per second)
enormously increases the power of their magnetism. If you placed a magnetar where the
Moon is, 400,000 kilometres away, it could still wipe your credit cards and rip
spoons out of your pockets.
