When the Crab Nebula exploded in July, 1054, it was visible during daylight for 23 days.

Lighthouses in space!? Depends how you look at it.
Hubble and Chandra teamed up to view the Crab Nebula’s pulsar, which rotates every 33 milliseconds and emits narrow beams of light—imitating how the beam of a lighthouse looks: https://hubblesite.org/contents/media/images/2002/24/1248-Image.html?news=true #NationalLighthouseDay #Hubble #space #astronomy #Chandra #CrabNebula

The wave-like patterns that can be seen near the center of this image are the result of charged particles from a central pulsar striking surrounding, ring-shaped gas and creating shocks.

Had a window of opportunity recently to try and capture M1 The Crab Nebula. Just over 4 hrs of data.

Very nice image of the #crabnebula . I don't have good equipment for photographing star targets like that.
So, I made use of the publicly available Micro Observatory, a Harvard Smithsonian project. I was able to schedule the Crab Nebula, get an email of the red, green, and blue images, then process them. The instruments the Micro Observatory uses are 6 inch Mak Newts.
Here's my result.

The journey has begun …
Long way to go processing this image - data captured on Sun/Mon 20/21 Nov now calibrated & stacked, colour corrected, & converted into a linear format so I can edit it easier 🦀

Tonight’s project still running - ETA 2:08am. Looking forward to processing the 30 x 4 minute frames (2 hours accumulated exposure time) later today 🦀🔭📷

Last one. Ok just go with it because it's a bit weird but I got it into my head that i wanted to draw the #CrabNebula and it was just really difficult 🤣. So it ended up a bit abstract and like some sort of alien squiggle monster from Star Trek or something. Anyway here it is.

OK, this wins Halloween as far as I am concerned. Nice work @galacticgrace@twitter.com!

A fascinating look at the Crab Nebula in 3D.
"Astronomers have done something very cool: Made a 3D map of the expanding debris from the supernova explosion that created the Crab Nebula, one of the closest and brightest such supernova remnants in the sky."
