The nebula around the Crab contains a donut-shaped magnetic field, which NASA’s Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) observed. The orange lines highlight the shape of the magnetic field ...

NASA's top five images from space include AG Carinae, the Crab Nebula with X-rays, the Andromeda galaxy in infrared, and Cassiopeia, a supernova remnant showing elemental gases.

The Crab nebula’s magnetic field has been mapped in more detail than ever before. This churning mass of hot gas and dust is one of the best-studied cosmic objects, but this new map shows it is ...

The Crab Nebula is a well-studied supernova remnant located 6,500 light-years away in the Taurus constellation. The Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore is the mission operations center ...

The observations shed surprising new light on a well-studied cosmic object. Scientists have mapped the iconic Crab Nebula's magnetic field in greater detail than ever before using NASA's latest X ...

The Crab Nebula is the remnant of a supernova that appeared in 1054. "Historical records, including Chinese accounts, describe an unusually bright star appearing in the sky," said the KU researcher.
