− | The {{w|Stingray Nebula}} | + | The {{w|Stingray Nebula}} is the youngest known planetary nebula in the galaxy. In 1987 it was an {{w|asymptotic giant branch}} (AGB) B1 {{w|supergiant}} and then became the Stingray Nebula in 1987. Well, didn't become that in 1987, the light of the incident reached the Earth in 1987. |
This comic went from a reassuring comic about stars at night giving hope in the darkness, but then as with most xkcd's, it took a turn. In this case, the twist is that because [[Cueball]]'s star he got attached to exploded into a nebula, we should only become attached to stars that aren't quite as volatile as the one that formed the Stingray Nebula. | This comic went from a reassuring comic about stars at night giving hope in the darkness, but then as with most xkcd's, it took a turn.
