From Wikipedia
SGR 1806−20 is a magnetar, a type of neutron star with a very powerful magnetic field, that was discovered in 1979 and identified as a soft gamma repeater. SGR 1806−20 is located about 13 kiloparsecs (42,000 light-years) from Earth on the far side of the Milky Way in the constellation of Sagittarius. It has a diameter of no more than 20 kilometres (12 mi) and rotates on its axis every 7.5 seconds (30,000 kilometres per hour (19,000 mph) rotation speed at the equator on the surface). As of 2016, SGR 1806-20 is the most highly magnetized object ever observed, with a magnetic field of over 1015 gauss (G) (1011 tesla) intensity (compared to the Sun's 1–5 G and Earth's 0.25–0.65 G).
