Magnetars and neutron stars are two intriguing types of celestial objects that are both remnants of massive stars, but with distinct characteristics. Here's an overview of magnetars and neutron stars: 1. Neutron Stars:    - Formation: Neutron stars form when a massive star undergoes a supernova explosion at the end of its life. The core of the star collapses under its own gravity, and the protons and electrons combine to form neutrons, resulting in an extremely dense object.    - Size and Density: Neutron stars are incredibly compact, with diameters typically around 10-20 kilometers (6-12 miles). They have enormous densities, containing the mass of 1.4 to 3 times that of the Sun packed into this small volume. This results in gravity on their surface being about 100 billion times stronger than on Earth.    - Composition: Neutron stars are predominantly composed of neutrons, but they also contain a small amount of protons, electrons, and other subatomic parti...
