“The Crab Nebula from CFHT” is copyrighted by Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. 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 debris left after a star exploded in 1054 AD. This image, taken by the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope, shows the nebula's complex filaments in three colors chosen for scientific study. The filaments appear to have less mass and higher speeds than expected from the original supernova, and the nebula spans about 10 light-years.
