 Last week we posted a fascinating piece on <A href="http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2007/07/neutron-star-ch.html">Neutron Stars and the Physics of Star Trek</A>, which began by describing an episode from <EM>Star Trek</EM>, "Evolution," when the
Nanites began eating the ship's computers as the crew was studying a
neutron star that was about to erupt into the most spectacular explosion in the known universe -a supernova.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2007/07/neutron-star-di.html"><P>Astronomer's at the Harvard Chandra X-Ray Telescope took a new image that shows the 2,000 year-old-remnant of such a cosmic
explosion, known as RCW 103, which occurred about 10,000 light years
from Earth. </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/FCBCF90C-323F-4662-9109-6F8097DC172C/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
