Astronomers have recently discovered a new magnetar, SGR J1830-645, located in the constellation of Sagittarius. Magnetars are a type of neutron star with an incredibly strong magnetic field, hundreds of times more powerful than a regular neutron star. This magnetar is particularly interesting because it is the first one to be discovered in the Milky Way outside of the Galactic Center.

Astronomers are excited to explore this new magnetar, SGR J1830-645, located in the constellation of Sagittarius. With its incredibly strong magnetic field, hundreds of times more powerful than a regular neutron star, SGR J1830-645 is the first magnetar to be discovered in the Milky Way outside of the Galactic Center. Astronomers hope that further observations of this magnetar may reveal new insights about the nature of neutron stars, and the structure of our Milky Way.
