The Ex Planet (1,343,400 cr)Everyone loves Pluto. Well not everybody. In 2006 the International Astronomical Union reclassified Pluto as a Dwarf Planet, changing the way we see the Solar System forever.  The IAU can kiss my ..., umm, knee!  I love Pluto!!!  Edit:  And it looks like Neptune decided to join me as well!

 Belongs to: T2 Trophies After a long search, Pluto was first recognised in photographic plates at the US Lowell Observatory by astronomer Clyde Tombaugh on February 8th, 1930. The discovery of the (then) planet was announced in March of that year. Pluto was famously reclassified as a dwarf planet by the IAU in 2006, before it had even completed one orbit around the Sun since its discovery. (Trophy suggested by Dingo).

 M31 You’ve not voyaged far to reach our nearest, and most impressive, spiral galaxy, Messier 31 - or best known as the Andromeda Galaxy. Located in the (shocking surprise) Andromeda Constellation, it is by far the largest galaxy in our Local Group with around 1 trillion stars! With a not-too-far away distance of around 2.5 million light years, it's no surprise that our galaxy and Andromeda are expected to collide in a mere 3.75 billion years, merging to form a giant elliptical galaxy. You've helped process 700 galaxies for theSkyNet POGS - thank you!

 HyperGiant You've had an emotional journey; you have gone from being a size 25 (times bigger than Earth's Sun) to a size 40. You may be newly evolved from the main-sequence and still with high mass, or a much more evolved post-red supergiant that has lost a significant fraction of your initial mass, but its a confusing time so who knows, apart from yourself. Almost all of your HyperGiant brethren exhibit variations in luminosity over time due to instabilities within their interiors (emotions again), but lets not judge a star from its shine! You've now been part of theSkyNet for 64 days!

Neptune (30,100 RAC) Neptune, windiest place in the Solar System. They should start a kite surfing business on the diamond ocean. We'd go visit, would you come too? 30,100 Recent Credits (RAC) cracked today, incredible work!  Neon (1,000,000 cr) Neon is very rare on Earth (despite the signs that are named after it) but is the fifth most common element in the Universe. Imagine the neon sign you could make with a nebula's worth of this noble gas!  HDD (1,000,000 cr) The Hard Disk Drive, vital part of any computer that you want to actually do stuff with. They've been around since the dawn of computing - 1956 saw the first HDD, with a 3.75MB capacity it was bigger than a car! Now available with storage in the TBs. Loaded up today!!

 Belongs to: Storage Wars It doesn't look like a thumb, but USB Thumb Drives (or more fancily, USB Flash Drives) are now a popular data and back up storage device. From humble beginnings of only holding 8MB, 2013 will see a 1TB Thumb Drive hit the market. 1TB - that's a LOT of photos of your kids, ready to whip out of your pocket at a moment's notice to inflict on unsuspecting strangers.

M110  Belongs to: Voyage through the Messier catalogue Last on the infamous Messier List, but not the furthest in your journeys, we have M110. This is a dwarf elliptical galaxy and a satellite to the great Andromeda Galaxy. Interestingly enough Charles Messier never included the galaxy onto his list, although did depict it in a drawing of the Andromeda galaxy. With a distance of 2.7million light years we hope this isn’t the last time we see M110. You've helped process 1000 galaxies for theSkyNet POGS - thank you!

 M81 (3,000 Galaxies)12 million light years away from home and yet you've shown no fear coming this far! Welcome to the Ursa Major Constellation. Here we present M81, Bode’s Galaxy, duly named after its discoverer Johann Elert Bode in 1774. It is a classic spiral galaxy but also a very popular target for amateur astronomers due to its large size and very active galactic nucleus which is harboring a supermassive black hole 70 millions times the mass of our Sun… not bad!

Keep it up Bro, Your RAC points towards both Voyager Trophies. (Your daily production is brutal) So far, Voyager1 has been awarded 63 times. Team EVGA have one already, now you go pick next

Thanks Orange_1050 you are right on the target.  Voyager 2Voyager 2 - launched before or after voyager 1, what do you think? Either way, it's going a little slower than number 1 so is hanging out past the planets and dwarfs we know about, but not quite at the edge. A fitting reward for reaching 102000 Recent Credits (RAC), we think. Well done! This trophy has been won by 73 users. Team EVGA now has Voyager 1 and Voyager 2

 Pluto Pluto. Don't feel sorry for it. Seriously. It doesn't care if it's a dwarf or not, it's busy hanging out with Charon, Nix, Hydra, Kerberos and Styx out in the far reaches of the Solar System. It's got time for high fives for you, though. 39,300 Recent Credits (RAC) today, congrats! Pluto Pluto. Don't feel sorry for it. Seriously.

 Belongs to: Elementals Oxygen, where would we be without it? Well, it'd be a lot like space, for a bit. Then we'd all be dead. Let's not let that happen. Molecular Oxygen is luckily abundant on Earth, but is very rare in space, having only been found for the first time in 2011. (Awarded for achieving 409,600 credits)
