In our home galaxy, a single magnetar has been discovered that emits short radio bursts, the nature of which is still the subject of scientific debate. The relative proximity to us of the magnetar SGR 1935 + 2154 gives scientists hope of unraveling the secrets of these objects, and a step in this direction has already been taken.
