Are you taking requests on what your resulting nebula will look like? Because any nebulous shape that screams “Bite my shiny, nebulous ass!” will get kids interested in astronomy. You’ll be even more recogonizable to 4th graders than Uranus! You don’t want to play second fiddle to Uranus do you? ---

How does Supernova define a giant nipple as not being endlessly fascinating to the middle-school set? Which I’d think is the best age to get kids hooked on astronomy. ---
