The Crab Nebula

Picture
M1 in Taurus

 
is a supernova remnant, particularly amazing because its origin dates from modern times. In 1054, Chinese astronomers recorded the event, bright enough to be seen in daylight skies for twenty-three days. A complex web of pink and teal filaments, The Crab is a major X-ray and radio emission source, including a pulsar. I am grateful to Misti Mountain Observatory for this data.
