Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.

Supernova Remnant
Universe Today reports: Chandra Sees the Death of a Star in Detail. This is a view of what remains after a supernova as seen in x-rays. There's a pulsar in there (a rotating neutron star), but oddly not right at the center.
