“This is the mess that is left when a star explodes.”
Alec Baldwin got mad again? I warned him this would happen.
“You lose your temper again and you’ll explode!”
Never understood why they call this the “Crab” Nebula? Looks nothing like a crab to me.
Some interesting speculation on Thunderbolts.info about nebulae.
Thanks for all you do here Sunkenciv, I'm a big fan of your threads.
Really Nice!

I guess they would have been killed off by the gamma rays or turned into Green Hulks....
Gamma ray burst equivalent of a million trillion suns.
