 SCP-037 appears to be a star, approximately 5 cm or 2 inches in diameter, with a luminosity of about 1 to the power of 10 to 12 times that of our Sun and a surface temperature of about 5,000 Kelvin. The origin of SCP-037 is unknown, however, analysis suggests that it shares many properties in common with a typical main sequence star. Recent transport of SCP-037 have been achieved by the use of powerful electromagnets, to which the artifact aligns itself according to its own magnetic field. The primary challenge to containment thus far has been its powerful electromagnetic emissions, which are intense enough to be easily seen by the naked eye from high Earth orbit.
