“M1: Polarization of the Crab” is copyrighted by AATB, Caltech, David Malin, Jay Pasachoff. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Crab Nebula is the remnant of a supernova observed over 900 years ago. Much of the light emitted by the still-expanding nebula is polarized. This means the light waves vibrate in the same plane, an effect familiar to sunglass wearers.
