What do these 3 have in common: Wolf-Rayet stars, the Pistol
Star and Alkaid (Eta UMa)?


*Shrugs* They all suffer from terrible wind, live life in the fast
lane and will go out with a bang?

In other words: They have strong solar winds, are high-mass
blue-white fast 'burning' short-lifetime stars and will die in

rather
violent and exotic ways.


Not quite! Its a quiz remember... no serious Astronomy answers
required. Here's a hint: look at the names and associate with law
& order...


Whooosh is the sound made as this passes over my head and on up into
orbit.
