Magnetars are a type of neutron star, which are superdense stars that pack the mass of a sun into a body the size of Manhattan Island.

If you fell off a chair 1 meter high on a neutron star, you'd hit the surface at 4.3 million mph. Splat!

And if you built a rocket to fly off of a neutron star, it would need an escape velocity 1/3rd the speed of light.

Cool stuff!

Of course, this is all hypothetical. Life on a neutron star would be very, very brief.

Life on a neutron star would be very, very brief.

And that is why those inhabitants of neutron stars, the neutrinos, escape in untold numbers and disguise themselves as dark matter.

And they aren't just border creepers.

They violate your personal space.

AND YOU DON"T EVEN KNOW IT!!!

A neutron star is so dense, a teaspoon of its material would have a mass of about 1000 times that of the Great Pyramids..
