There's a cool little blurb in the article about the Crab Nebula being visible in the sky in 1054 for 2 years.

One picking point. The article describes a white dwarf having a mass of 8 solar masses, while the Chandrasekhar limit places the maximum at 1.4 solar masses.

Astronomy / Cosmology is proven racist and all of their practitioners must undergo re-education for the removal of these racist terms! White Dwarfs and Black Holes must be renamed as they reek of White Patrimony!

Yes, SARCASM BUT any bets that this is not percolating in those various pressure groups?
