- 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.

@@ZiaAstro your voice is too soothing to hear
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.
Thank you so much Scotch :) Let me know if I can advise you anyhow and I would be happy to help, and once you start observing the moon you would want to go further and further in this. It is a rabbithole :D
