Nice find, Angel. Only; is 250-1000 light-years close enough to be called 'near Earth'? It's closer than any similar object, but it isn't really that 'near'.

I was only feet away from a dead star a few years back when I went past the BUPA hospital in Whalley Range the morning of Les Dawson's death.

Far away to us but considering the universe is billions of light years across, in astronomical terms it's right on our doorstep.

I thought this was interesting as well.

I'm not happy, in fact I'm quite sad, you really need to get out more .
