  The recent measurement by Bignami and co-workers of the magnetic field of a
neutron star for the first time gives a value that differs by about two orders
of magnitude from the expected value. The speculation has been that the nuclear
matter in the neutron stars exhibits some exotic behaviour. In this note we
argue that this exotic behaviour is an anomalous statistics obeyed by the
neutrons, and moreover these considerations lead to a value of the magnetic
field that agrees with the observation. The same considerations also correctly
give the magnetic fields of the earth and Jupiter.
