“Two Eclipsed-adjacent drifters swear the center shifted by a fraction of a degree. SGR 1900+14's field arcs bent toward it like iron to a magnet.”
Sagittarius A* moved — or didn't

“A magnetar with a magnetic field of 2–8×10^14 gauss that unleashed an extraordinary giant flare in 1998; SGR 1900+14 is the loudest quiet object in the galaxy.”
A Umbral world of The Eclipsed

SGR 1900+14 is a magnetar with a magnetic field of 2 to 8 hundred trillion gauss — the strongest known. In 1998 it unleashed a giant flare that briefly outshone the galaxy, and the courts lowered their voices for a year.
It crackles constantly, throwing off smaller bursts like sparks from a grinding wheel. Astronomers watch it the way sailors watch a storm, and it has been quiet lately — which worries everyone more than the noise did.
Another giant flare is a matter of when, not if, and no one can predict it. When it comes, its light will wash over every court at once, and the Eclipsed are already practicing their silence.

Sagittarius A* moved — or didn't
Stellar remnants — a black hole, a neutron star, a white dwarf, a magnetar. They are not evil. They are finished.
