A panel from the Legion of Super-Heroes story in Adventure Comics #380 (1969, DC Comics). Ultra Boy stands on a tiny island in the centre, swinging a cable around in circles. The space ship at the end of the cable is only a blur as it whizzes around Ultra Boy. He is thinking “COSMIC BOY helped me find enough metal to make this SUPER-CABLE … now it’s up to me to SWING the ship … and slowly accelerate it till it approaches HYPER-LIGHT VELOCITY .. then, if INVISIBLE KID’S calculations are correct …” A picture of the Crab Nebula from Astronomy picture of the day, Aug 24 2025: https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap250824.html Alt text provided: “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 since the telescope was launched into space in 1999. The Crab Nebula is powered by a quickly spinning, highly magnetized neutron star called a pulsar, which was formed when a massive star ran out of its nuclear fuel and collapsed. The combination of rapid rotation and a strong magnetic field in the Crab generates an intense electromagnetic field that creates jets of matter and anti-matter moving away from both the north and south poles of the pulsar, and an intense wind flowing out in the equatorial direction.”

Hubble Space Telescope image of the Crab Nebula, a supernova remnant resulting from the explosion of a massive star in 1054 AD. The image showcases the nebula's intricate structure, including wisps of material moving at half the speed of light, a scintillating halo, and the pulsar at the center. The vibrant red hues highlight the energy and dynamism of this celestial object.

Stunning Hubble Space Telescope image of the Crab Nebula's core, showcasing its intricate filaments, glowing gas, and the Crab Pulsar – a city-sized neutron star spinning 30 times a second. The blue hues represent electrons spiraling near light speed in a powerful magnetic field, powered by the pulsar's energy. This nebula is the expanding remnant of a supernova witnessed on Earth in 1054 AD.

A stunning false-color image of the Crab Nebula (M1), a supernova remnant. Data from Chandra (X-ray - blue/purple), Hubble (optical - green), and Spitzer (infrared - red) telescopes are combined to show the nebula's intricate structure, including the central Crab Pulsar, a rapidly spinning neutron star. The nebula spans 12 light-years and is located 6,500 light-years away in Taurus.

Another comparison between the Odyssey Pro and the s50. Here is #m1 - #crabnebula. Both images processed by the telescopes. I think the s50 image needed more time. #unistellar #odysseypro #space #astronomy #amateur #seestar #s50
M1 - Crab Nebula - image processed by the s50. M1, the Crab Nebula, is a supernova remnant from an exploding star. It houses a pulsar and glows from synchrotron radiation. M1 - Crab Nebula - image processed by the Odyssey Pro. The 1054 supernova that created the Crab Nebula was so bright it was visible during the day for 23 days.

Comparison of the Crab Nebula's normal gamma-ray emission (left) and its significantly brighter state during a flare in April 2011 (right). The increased brightness, observed by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, is a mystery, possibly linked to the nebula's central pulsar's magnetic field. The Geminga pulsar is shown for scale.

The #CrabNebula is a #supernova remnant. It’s what’s left of an exploded #star. And it’s a vast expanding cloud of gas and dust surrounding one of the densest objects in the universe, a neutron star.
