A Magnetar Loses Mass (Artist's Concept)

This striking artist's concept illustrates a magnetar, an ultra-dense neutron star possessing the strongest magnetic fields known in the universe. Twisted magnetic field lines surround the stellar remnant while streams of energized material escape into space during a powerful mass ejection.

The illustration is based on observations from NASA's NICER and NuSTAR missions, which detected an unusual slowdown in the nearby magnetar SGR 1935+2154 following a fast radio burst. The visualization transforms cutting-edge astrophysical research into an extraordinary work of scientific art that explores one of the universe's most extreme environments.
