Physicists predicted in 1936 that a powerful magnetic field could turn empty space into a kind of prism — and on August 5, 2026, observations of a magnetar with a field more than a trillion times Earth’s produced the strongest evidence yet that they were right.
About 13,000 light-years away, give or take the spread in astronomical distance estimates, a stellar remnant is turning…
