But a working telescope is only worth so much without an excellent imagination at the helm. The Pac-Man of it all not withstanding, it's great to see Hubble back up and running after some technical issues hobbled it for a few weeks over the summer. In North America, the game was released by Midway Manufacturing as part of its licensing agreement with Namco America. The game went on to gross over $14 billion in revenue since its release, and is inarguably one of the most ubiquitous pieces of pop culture iconography, full stop (Google even turned it into a playable Google Doodle). Pac-Man, originally called Puck Man in Japan, is a 1980 maze action video game developed and released by Namco for arcades. It was created by Toru Iwatani and released by Namco in 1980, and it was published by Bally Midway for U.S. Pac-Man ( Pakkuman), originally known as Puckman in Japan, is the initial game in the Pac-Man series. I mean, here I now have the signature of a man who created one of the most iconic pop culture things in the history of things. Pac-Man was released by Japanese video game company Namco in 1980 by a nine-person team, after game director Toru Iwatani invented a character inspired by not a supernova's hangover, but a pizza with a slice taken from it. One of the most popular and influential games of the 1980s, Pac-Man stars a little, yellow dot-muncher who works his way around to clear a maze of the various dots and fruit which inhabit the board.

Just to be clear, because we have to say it: No, this thing isn't actually eating stars. ![]() While supernovas typically leave a mess of heavy elements and gases all over the place, per NASA, "N 63A is still young, and its ruthless shocks are destroying the ambient gas clouds, rather than coercing them to collapse and form stars."Īnd yes, it also looks a lot like Pac-Man, chomping up Pac-Man's power pellets, which in this case, would be stars. N 63 A - which is located in a satellite galaxy of our own, in what's called the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMG), 163,000 light years away from the Milky Way - isn't a supernova itself, but its aftermath, the mess after the party. Via, the image shows N 63A, which is the dregs of a supernova, meaning the explosion that can occur over the final phases of a star's lifespan.
