A new observatory in Chile has produced a stunningly detailed image of a nebula resembling cotton candy, using the largest ...

A new composite image of the Crab Nebula features X-rays from Chandra (blue and white), optical data from Hubble (purple), and infrared data from Spitzer (pink). Chandra has repeatedly observed ...

The Crab Nebula, located in the constellation Taurus, is the result of a supernova explosion that was seen on Earth in 1054 C.E. and was bright enough to view during the daytime.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) turned its attention toward the Crab Nebula (M1) and revealed “exquisite, never-before-seen details” in this image released Oct. 30. Tea Temim and team at ...

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.

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 ...

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.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has gazed at the Crab Nebula, a supernova remnant located 6,500 light-years away in the constellation Taurus. Since the recording of this energetic event in 1054 ...

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 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 ...
