The High Energy Crab Nebula
The Crab Nebula is what's left after a star exploded in 1054. It still glows across the entire electromagnetic spectrum, from visible light to X-rays. At its center is a neutron star that spins thirty times a second. These images show the nebula in different wavelengths, from visible to X-ray.
