... Since GCVS IV, there was no new GCVS edition. ... Main reasons for the automatic-survey new variables remaining outside the GCVS for a long time:  different level of detail of the classification systems, no perfect software for automatic classification available;  individual approach to each star that was always used in the GCVS cannot be applied any longer, but the experience of automatically- updated catalogs evidences for the number of errors ...

http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/archive/releases/1996/22/text/ Probing the mysterious heart of the Crab Nebula, the tattered remains of a stellar cataclysm witnessed more than 900 years ago, astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have found that the Crab is even more dynamic than previously understood, based on a cosmic "movie" assembled from a series of Hubble observations. ... Because of this flickering, the neutron star is also called a "pulsar." ...
