  • The Crab Nebula is a supernova remnant and pulsar wind nebula in the constellation of Taurus. At the center of the nebula lies the Crab Pulsar, a neutron star 28-30 kilometres (17-19 mi) across with a spin rate of 30.2 times per second, which emits pulses of radiation from gamma rays to radio waves.

    Very cool!
    I commented too soon.
    That image was amazing. I have been thinking about getting a telescope. Nothing crazy, I mostly just want to see the moon.
