This is more of a “revelation” then a discovery in my estimation since they have been staring at it for quite a while… I love how Ben Davidson of Suspicious 0bservers says that THEY don’t have the cosmos figured out like THEY want us all to believe…”It makes me wonder what else is hiding from them in plain site…”

Astronomers believe a well-known object is actually a new type of star — and it’s one that could be the “missing link” in models showing the formation of stellar corpses with extremely powerful magnetic fields, known as magnetars.
The team found that HD 45166, a star in a binary system that’s been studied for over 100 years and sits around 3,000 light-years from Earth, is a highly magnetic helium star. This is a type of stellar body that hadn’t previously been predicted to exist.
“This is the first time we have found a magnetic massive helium star,” Tomer Shenar, lead author of the discovery and an astronomer at the University of Amsterdam, told Space.com. “This is also the strongest field ever detected in a massive star that may undergo core collapse and become a neutron star.”
Out of all the magnetars found to date, this is the most massive magnetic star ever seen, and it is so very gorgeous. It is called a helium star! Its entire surface has a super charged magnetic field more than 100 thousand times more than the earths field. If this is right in front of their faces and having been observed for a long while as they claim, what else are they missing???
Magnetars…are scattered across our galaxy however, elusive to onlookers as to how they are formed. This helium star has a mass several times more than our sun. Check out how beautiful this celestial surprise is…
What is a Magnetar?
Magnetic magnetars
A magnetar is somewhat of a rare type of a neutron star, however, its defining feature is that it has an ultra-powerful magnetic field. They are a rotating star at that. The field is about 1,000 times stronger than a normal neutron star and about a trillion times stronger than the Earth’s.
Magnetars are, by far, the most magnetic stars in the universe.
As Earthsky.com states:
What gives a magnetar its magnetism?
Astrophysicists do not yet know exactly how a magnetar generates its stupendous magnetic field. However, it probably relates to the incredible density of neutron stars and their bizarre interiors. Just one sugar cube-sized amount of neutron star material would weigh a billion tons on the Earth … about the same as an average mountain!
The magnetic field of a magnetar may be caused by a neutron star’s interior – thought to be made up of neutrons, quarks and exotic states of matter such as Bose-Einstein Condensates – becoming a superconducting fluid. Thus, when the star rotates, it would behave like a huge dynamo, generating an immense magnetic field.
Or, the field may simply have its origins in its progenitor star – the kind of star it was before it become a neutron star – which may have had an unusually strong magnetic field.
In an effort to solve this enigma, astronomers launched an instrument called the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) to the International Space Station in 2017. Its specific goal is to determine what exactly is inside neutron stars.
So far, NICER has enabled astronomers to make more accurate measurements regarding size and density parameters of these strange cosmic beasts.
We also stand to learn more about neutron stars from the gravitational waves they generate when two of them collide, such as in the famous gravitational-wave event GW170817.
God is so intentional and so amazing…
“Look up into the heavens. Who created all the stars? He brings them out like an army, one after another, calling each by its name.
Because of his great power and incomparable strength, not a single one is missing.” Isaiah 40:26
