@Sidewinder Decades ago when I took astrophysics, the professor told us that astrophysics could be roughly divided into two equal parts: the study of the Crab Nebula, and the study of the rest of the universe! (Since that time, other supernovae and other cosmological observations have attracted attention away from the Crab.)

In 1054 AD, Japanese and Chinese astronomers recorded the supernova that evolved into the Crab Nebula. Studying the nebula tells us how heavy elements get created and distributed, and how shockwaves travel through the vacuum of nearly empty space. It's a powerful emitter of radio waves, and has a rotating neutron star pulsar at its center; the remains of the star that exploded.

@TryingtoLava it's called CUE you get cards about various creatures, science, history, space etc. You see the picture flip it and you get info about it. And play against people in card battles

@TryingtoLava I don't think it would - especially when there's a different variation of Ducky's name in it...
