Welcome to the Boneyard.
On this page you will find entries for objects that have been confirmed
as Cataclysmic variables, asteriods (otherwise known as
Vermin of the sky), or some other non extragalactic event.
Why keep them around? Because you never know when something like this will
come back to life...
