Astronomers have just spotted something terrifying: a “zombie star” streaking across the Milky Way, and it might be one of the strangest—and most dangerous—objects in our galaxy. Known only as SGR 0501+4516, this cosmic oddity is tearing through space at speeds most rockets could only dream of — and its magnetic power? Let’s just say it makes Earth’s field look like a fridge magnet. Could this be a new class of celestial monster… or something even weirder? LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and COMMENT: Is this the galaxy’s most dangerous runaway star?
