Description

A magnetar is a type of neutron star with an extremely powerful magnetic field. The magnetic field decay powers the emission of high-energy electromagnetic radiation, particularly X-rays and gamma rays.[1] The magnetar hypothesis has become widely accepted as a likely explanation for soft gamma repeaters (SGRs) and anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs).

Like other neutron stars, magnetars are around 20 kilometres (12 mi) in diameter and have a greater mass than the Sun. The density of the interior of a magnetar is such that a thimble full of its substance would have a mass of over 100 million tons.[1] Magnetars are differentiated from other neutron stars by having even stronger magnetic fields, and rotating comparatively slowly, with most magnetars completing a rotation once every one to ten seconds,[3] compared to less than one second for a typical neutron star. This magnetic field gives rise to very strong and characteristic bursts of X-rays and gamma rays.

There are 28 know magnetars as of August 2014, with 14 SGRs and 14 AXPs.

This fractal abstract explores the possibility of two magnetars in orbit about each other with a resulting bizarre magnetic field disturbing an entire galaxy with disruptive x-ray and gamma ray pulses thrown out like chaotic light beams from a wobbling lighthouse.

This fractal abstract was specially created a a screensaver for high definition or 4K wide-screen TVs (16 x 9 format). The soft colors and sharp edged scones create interesting play on light.

This fractal abstract belongs to a series designed to help one relax in these stressful times. The soft surrender of meditation on a visually restful scene or abstract is increasingly attractive in today's hectic world. Contemplating, meditating, or just looking at a lovely abstract...this abstract may calm the viewer while also providing aesthetic wall art for home or office. The series offers a variety of colors and lovely soft fractal designs.

This format will work well for large LCD/LED screens, and the high resolution will permit the magic to appear as a fractal screen saver on a smart TV.
