2. The diameter of the magnetar is 20 kilometers and its mass is 2 to 3 times that of the Sun.
3. Its magnetic field is so enormous and lethal that it is capable of absorbing all the iron atoms from the bloodstream (hemoglobin) of a living body even if it is positioned at a distance of 1000 km from it.
