Apropos Warren's enquiry regarding the crab nebula, I have sent him by direct e mail a link to an informative website (
www.seds.org/messier/m/m001.html
) that tells us a great deal about this subject. A most interesting fact is that the nebula, which represents the ejecta from a supernova explosion in around 1140 AD, (the supernova was first recorded in 1054) is a strong source of radio radiation. My immediate reaction to the imputed church connection is that the dates are purely fortuitous, but then I am of a rationalist tendency overall.
Good wishes for the Nativity festival to all who follow the Old Calendar.
