- NGC 6231 (also known as Caldwell 76 or the Baby Scorpion Cluster) is an open cluster in the southern sky located half a degrees north of Zeta Scorpii. NGC 6231 is part of a swath of young, bluish stars in the constellation Scorpius known as the Scorpius OB1 association. The star Zeta1 (HR 6262) is a member of this association, while its brighter apparent partner, Zeta2 (HR 6271), is only 150 ly from Earth and so is not a member.
- Undocumented 8086 instructions, explained by the microcode (righto.com)
What happens if you give the Intel 8086 processor an instruction that doesn’t exist? A modern microprocessor (80186 and later) will generate an exception, indicating that an illegal instruction was executed. However, early microprocessors didn’t include the circuitry to detect illegal instructions, since the chips didn’t have transistors to spare. Instead these processors would do something, but the results weren’t specified.
