The Crab Nebula
How many people living on this little planet that some call Earth, know about the Crab Nebula? I would like to know the answer to that question instead of hearing Governor Palin’s savage and idiotic religious opinions. Knowing the answer to that question would help me predict future events, even better and more accurately. Like, for example, knowing how many people know about the Crab Nebula would allow me to predict the outcome of the upcoming 110%. Yes. That is correct. I could, knowing just that one fact, predict the outcome of the upcoming, 110%.
Alas. Squeezing that extra 10% of ovational insurance out of a single fact, though, shall not change the ovation one whit. The pattern is set. I have known the outcome of the upcoming for certain since January of the Julian, ‘08.
OK. Karl the Tracker Druid once told me a story about this presumptive average amateur astronomer named Bob who bought a telescope just so he could espy the Crab Nebula. I have got to espy the Crab Nebula, Bob explained to the telescope salesperson. Money is no object. However, though money is no object, I would prefer a red telescope.
Anon, the sales person fixed Bob up with a red telescope. Home Bob went, froth with excitement. Ha! Now I shall easily espy the Crab Nebula in my new red telescope, Bob thought.
Jeez Louise! Here is a quote from Robert Burnham. Jr. occurring on page 1843 of Burnham’s Celestial Handbook, Vol 3. “The famous “Crab Nebula” in Taurus, the most conspicuous known supernova remnant, and one of the most interesting objects in the heavens.”
Yes! That quote influenced Bob to seek out the Crab Nebula, Messier Object Number One. Yes! Influenced by Burnham. Jr., Bob sat out in the backyard next to his new red telescope, night after night, fixing to espy the Crab Nebula.
Good Goddess All Righty, Bob blasphemed. Where is that miserable cocksucker, shit eating Crab Nebula?
Yepper. Night after night Bob searched for the Crab Nebula. Yet Bob despaired of ever espying the Crab Nebula. But at last, Bob espied the Crab Nebula.
That’s motherfucking it? That’s the Goddess All Righty Crab Nebula! Well, fuck this shit! Cocksucking motherfuckers! Fuck it! My red telescope is going on EBAY.
Yes. The cosmic meets the down to earth and vice versa.
Alas for Bob. If Bob had been properly trained as a Druid, he could have taken his disappointment with the Crab Nebula in stride. But Bob staked all his amateur astronomer hopes on the first Messier heavenly body, Number One, M1. Number One let Bob down. Bob should have commenced with M2, maybe.
My oh my. The supernova event that provided average amateur astronomers with the Crab Nebula, exploded into the heavens, according to hearsay, on July 4, 1054 AD of the Julian. The explosion was visible during daytime for 23 days. Of course, as many know, it took a while for the light produced by the explosion to actually reach Chinese astronomers on Earth. Nevertheless, the date, July 4, is when the fireworks may have commenced from an earthly perspective.
Meantime, also here on Earth, the richest Americanos, having commanded the government seizure of the Fannie Mae/Freddy Mac pyramid scheme, are celebrating by running up the stock market. Yet, when the rain quits, Druids look to the heavens.
