#bodes "nebula"

it’s not anymore but used to be called that because people thought it was a nebula
they didn’t know other galaxies existed when it was discovered
Synscan just uses a weird data base of old unused names, not sure why.
nope thats the cigar galaxy XD
bodes galaxy becomes bodes nebula
its not that synscan's old or recent. it wasn't until the twentieth century that we discovered galaxies, we didnt know they existed so astronomers in the past called everything "nebula". even comets.
