On 27 August 1998, SGR-1900+4, a magnetar that lives 20,000 light years away flashed some very powerful gamma rays, so much so that it affected the earth’s ionosphere. SGR 1900+14 is located along the plane of our Milky Way galaxy. In the night sky, it's in the constellation Aquila (the Eagle) almost into Sagittarius (the archer). It is a diamond shape pattern with a tail.
this one is third in line of seven.
