the nebula you fly in in FS2 is way to dense for a natural nebula. we know that the crab isn't that dense.

and a supernova lasts for about 2 weeks.

The average nebula is about as dense as a laboratory vacumn. It's only the fact that we are looking through 1000's of km's of them that makes them look so dense.

so maybe it wasn't a supernova nebula at all...

perhaps it was the accretion disk of a protostar?

they're an ellipse...but before actual planets and the protostar form it has to go through a period of collapse, where the gas and nebular material will be dense but still occupy a large (roughly spherical) volume of space.

I wonder how nebulae get twisted up into those wierd shapes (like the Horsehead Nebula).
