Magnetar Giant Flare and Crustal Rupture

Full prompt

Deep space scientific illustration of an ultra-magnetized neutron star undergoing an apocalyptic crustal rupture. The surface of the magnetar cracks into geometric seismic plates, unleashing a blinding burst of gamma-ray and hard X-ray radiation that floods the surrounding starfield with searing cyan and emerald flares. Twisted magnetic field lines become visible as luminous, looping arcs of hyper-dense ionized plasma snapping and reconnecting in energetic cascades. The explosive shockwave shears through adjacent gas veils, casting intense rim lighting on floating meteoroid fields and interstellar dust sheets. The landscape 4:3 frame balances the high-intensity explosion slightly off-center, with believable light decay leading toward deep, velvet interstellar darkness.
