A magnetar known to scientists for 17 years might not have come from a supernova, like the rest of its ultra-magnetic brethren. But where did it form, then? The Hubble Space Telescope is on the case.

In 2020, astronomers added a new member to an exclusive family of exotic stars, with the discovery of a magnetar. Magnetars are a type of neutron star, which are incredibly dense objects mainly made ...
