The strongest continuous magnetic fields on Earth have been produced by Bitter magnets. The strongest continuous field achieved solely with a resistive magnet is 41.5 tesla as of 22 August 2017 [update] , produced by a Bitter electromagnet at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee , Florida .
These magnetic fields are a hundred million times stronger than any man-made magnet, [11] and about a trillion times more powerful than the field surrounding Earth. [12] Earth has a geomagnetic field of 30–60 microteslas, and a neodymium-based, rare-earth magnet has a field of about 1.25 tesla, with a magnetic energy density of 4.0 × 10 5 J/m 3.
Jupiter has the strongest and biggest magnetic fields known to exist in the solar system. [6] Studying these fields is one of the goals of the Juno mission, and in particular the task rests on the Magnetometer instruments. MAG measures the field about 60 times per second, and records the direction and strength of the field. [6]

35.4 T – the current (2009) world record for a superconducting electromagnet in a background magnetic field [19] 45 T – the current (2015) world record for continuous field magnets [19] 97.4 T – strongest magnetic field produced by a "non-destructive" magnet [20] 100 T – approximate magnetic field strength of a typical white dwarf star
The explosives then collapse the tube, reducing its diameter, and the field lines are forced closer together, increasing the field. The most powerful man-made magnetic fields [28] have been created by using explosives to compress the magnetic field inside an electromagnet as it is pulsed; these are called explosively pumped flux compression ...
SGR 1806−20 is a magnetar, a type of neutron star with a very powerful magnetic field, that was discovered in 1979 and identified as a soft gamma repeater.SGR 1806−20 is located about 13 kiloparsecs (42,000 light-years) [1] from Earth on the far side of the Milky Way in the constellation of Sagittarius.
“The rumbling of Earth’s magnetic field is accompanied by a representation of a geomagnetic storm that resulted from a solar flare on November 3rd, 2011, and indeed it sounds pretty scary."
