The Crab Nebula is an expanding remnant of a star’s supernova explosion! 💥 Located about 6,500 light-years away, the orange filaments are the tattered remains of the star and consist mostly of hydrogen. Like a lighthouse, the neutron star embedded at the nebula’s center produces twin beams of radiation. From Earth, it appears to pulse 30 times a second due to the neutron star’s rotation sweeping the beams across our line of sight. It has the mass equivalent of our Sun crammed into a rapidly spi

Space gets crabby, too. This Hubble view shows the Southern Crab Nebula, which consists of an aging red giant star and a burned-out star called a white dwarf. The red giant sheds its outer layers of material, and some of this cast-off material is attracted by the gravity of the companion white dwarf. The result is that both stars are embedded in a flat disk of gas stretching between them. This belt of material constricts the outflow of gas so that it only speeds away above and below the disk, le

22 years of data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory of the Crab Nebula has been combined into this timelapse movie. Through this, astronomers can see clear changes in both the rings around the pulsar and the jets it is blasting into space.
