Here is one for starters -
Magnestars
Magnestars are neutron stars (which are pretty amazing anyway) with very powerful magnetic fields. The strength of their fields is typically one thousand, million, million times that of the Earth.
At half the distance to the Moon a magnestar's field would wipe the information from the magnetic strips on all the credit cards on the Earth and at 1000km no life would be possible as it would distort the electron clouds of atoms.

BTW Fortunately the nearest magnestar to earth is about 9000 light years away
