Four hundred forty million light-years from Earth, the death of a massive star has at last confirmed what theorists spent two decades imagining: that the universe's most luminous explosions are powered by magnetars, newborn neutron stars of almost incomprehensible density and magnetic force. NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope detected gamma rays streaming from supernova SN 2017egm, the first direct evidence linking these extreme objects to superluminous supernovas. In confirming this, science has not merely solved a puzzle — it has opened a new way of listening to the interior lives of dyi
