Editing Lion's Head Nebula

[[Image:3x6-Lion's-Head-Nebula.jpg|thumb|right|The Lion's Head Nebula as seen by Athena and Racetrack]]
The '''Lion's Head Nebula''', according to the [[Sacred Scrolls|Scroll]] of [[Pythia]], was used as a navigational waypoint to [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]] by the caravan of the [[Thirteenth Tribe (RDM)|Thirteenth Tribe]]. The scripture reads: "And the caravan of the heavens was watched over by a great lion with a mighty blinking eye." The nebula's "eye" is actually a system of red and blue [[Wikipedia:Binary Star|eclipsing binary]] [[Wikipedia:Pulsar|pulsars]] that matches the scripture's description.

The [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]] first discover the nebula when [[Gaius Baltar]] tells them it might contain a clue to the location of [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]]. A [[Basestar (RDM)|basestar]] sent to investigate finds a [[Lion's Head beacon|beacon]] possibly left by the Thirteenth Tribe. But when the beacon is brought on board, a disease it carries kills most humanoid Cylons, [[Cylon Centurion|Centurions]], and [[Cylon Raider (RDM)|Raiders]] aboard (the mechanical Centurions are shut down as they were linked to the [[Hybrid]]), as well as severely damaging the basestar itself.

On ''[[Galactica (TRS)|Galactica]]'', Lieutenant [[Felix Gaeta]] analyzes Baltar's research and briefs President [[Laura Roslin]] and Admiral [[William Adama]] on the nebula. A [[Raptor]], manned by {{callsign|Racetrack}} and [[Sharon Agathon|Athena]], discovers the nebula and the graveyard of drifting Cylon spacecraft {{TRS|Torn}}.
