   What I find even more astounding is that the Crab Nebula – big, pretty and famous – has only been there since a comparable supernova in 1054. When I was interested in astronomy as a youngster, I naturally assumed it was as old as the stars.

   As it were.

   So how old is a corpse?

   Do you measure from date of birth, date of death, or age at death?
