NASA Astronomy Hourly Picture - 2004-11-26: Magnetars In The Sky
#Astronomy #NASA #Space
Indicated on this infrared image of the galactic center region are positions of candidate magnetars -- believed to be the strongest magnets in the galaxy. Classified by observers as Soft Gamma Repeaters (SGRs) and Anomalous X-ray Pulsars (AXPs), these cosmic powerhouses are likely city-sized, spinning, highly-magnetized neutron stars. How strong is a magnetar's magnetic field? The Earth's magnetic field which deflects compass needles is measured to be about 1 Gauss, while the strongest fields sustainable in earthbound laboratories are about 100,000 Gauss. A magnetar's monster magnetic field is estimated to be as high as 1,000,000,000,000,000 Gauss. A magnet this strong, located at about half the distance to the Moon would easily erase your credit cards and suck pens out of your pocket. In 1998, from a distance of about 20,000 light-years, one magnetar, SGR 1900+14 generated a powerful flash of gamma-rays detected by many spacecraft. That blast of high-energy radiation is now known to have had a measurable effect on Earth's ionosphere. At the surface of the magnetar, its powerful magnetic field is thought to buckle and shift the neutron star crust generating the intense high-energy flares

Artistieke impressie van de magnetar in de buitengewone sterrenhoop Westerlund 1.

Een magnetar is een type neutronenster met een extreem sterk magnetisch veld.

Een magnetar ontstaat uit de overblijfselen van een zware ster die eindigt in een supernova-explosie.

The same hedge fund involved in inflating the housing bubble is involved in the AI bubble! Here's a transcript excerpt on Magnetar.
www.organizedmoney.fm/p/the-ai-bub...
David: Here's, here's what's funny to me because, you know, Matt and I kind of come out of the financial crisis and there's this amazing housing bubble association here, because the first and largest institutional investor of CoreWeave is a company called Magnetar, and Magnetar was, if you know anything about the financial crisis, they were dead in the middle of that, too. Matt: Magnetar, for those of you who don't know what it is. There's a hedge fund that should have been the star of the movie The Big Short, except they were actually engineering the crisis and they were not the naive people who just came across it. They were working with Goldman Sachs primarily to kind of inflate the bubble. They were also shorting through these very obscured derivatives. This is this massive scandal. They took the bubble, which was probably a two $3 trillion bubble and turned it into a five or $6 trillion bubble. So it's a very important institution. It is not an institution that most people know, but these are the most savvy, cynical people, some of the most savvy, cynical people on Wall Street. David: It's just amazing that instead of, you know, slinking away. Uh, engaging in, uh, you know, derivatives, trading and, and, and what they did in the financial crisis. No, they came back and found another company, uh, to invest in. They're really smart. Yeah. You know, you don't in fact have to hand it to 'em.

Google "magnetar ". Keeping in mind they are typically as small as 12 miles in diameter.

"No, it's highly unlikely they will all be caught by the blackhole, it's too small. Even if it gained huge amounts of material it's not likely...though a few may get too close and be lost. It could very well disrupt local gravity and create chaos. The magnetar...it could be caught if it is too-

That's a damn good question. My default assumption is Nvidia, but there are a lot of examples Coreweave where hedge fund part-owner/lender Magnetar leases them.

Named after one of the most fearsome celestial objects that we know of, the Magnetar-class cruiser.

Much like anything getting too close to an actual magnetar, any aircraft or missile getting too close to the Magnetar class, simply ceases to be.

Ever heard of a magnetar? 🌌
It’s a type of neutron star with a magnetic field a trillion times stronger than Earth’s. If you brought a magnetar as close as the Moon, it would wipe every credit card on Earth. 1/6 🌌🔭🦛

People freaking out over this when LG hasn't put out a new device in several years. Panasonic and Sony (with a bit of Magnetar at the high end) have been the only major companies in this space for quite some time.

With its new $200 million investment, Brookfield has now put a total of $600 million into PosiGen’s finance model since 2023. PosiGen’s daily operations are supported by venture and equity investors including Magnetar Capital, Emerson Collective, Irradiant Partners, Activate Capital, The Builders Fund, and SJF Ventures. The Kresge Foundation has also invested in PosiGen, and GAF Energy, a solar-powered roof shingle supplier, has provided tax equity capacity to the company.

Happy debut to Magnetar! This drawing was done by my wife and she insisted on getting it colored ASAP to show her support for you and the new endeavor. According to her she's planning to make more fan art based on future streams. Shine on shooting star ⭐✨
