PIX4583033: Remains of the Crab Supernova (M1) in the Taurus - M1, the Crab Nebula, is the rest of a supernova that exploded in July or August 1054. It is located about 7000 light years from Earth in the constellation Taurus. At the heart of this nebula is a pulsar. Image obtained from photo plates made at the 5m telescope of Mount Palomar in February 1956 / Bridgeman Images

PIX4583130: Visible Crab Nebula - Infrared and X - The Crab Nebula - M1, the Crab Nebula, is the rest of a supernova that exploded on July 4, 1054. It is located about 7000 light years from Earth in the constellation Taurus. At the heart of this nebula is a pulsar. To obtain this photo, three spatial observatories combined their observations: the Hubble telescope for the visible part (here in red and yellow), the Chandra telescope for the X-ray data (blue) and the Spitzer telescope for the infrared image (purple). The pulsar is the bright spot in the center of the image. The Crab Nebula (M1) is a supernova remnant at about 7,000 light - year from Earth in the constellation Taurus. The star explosion occured on July 04 1054. At the center of this nebula lies a pulsar. This composite image uses data from three of Nasa's Great Observatories. The Chandra X - ray image is shown in blue, the Hubble Space Telescope optical images are in red and yellow, and the Spitzer Space Telescope's infrared image is in purple / Bridgeman Images

PIX4583135: Crab pulsar in nebula M1 - The Crab pulsar: This image from the Hubble space telescope shows the central region of the Crab nebula or resides its pulsar. The pulsar is visible in the center of the image. It is a very dense neutron star from the explosion of a massive supernova star. This star quickly rotates on itself developing a powerful magnetic field, emitting beams of light and radio waves. M1 is located about 6000 light-years in the constellation Taurus.. While many other images of the famous Crab Nebula have focused on the filaments in the outer part of the nebula, this image shows the very heart of the Crab Nebula including the central neutron star - it is the rightmost of the two bright stars near the centre of this image. The rapid motion of the material nearest to the central star is revealed by the subtle rainbow of colours in this time-lapse image, the rainbow effect being due to the movement of material over the time between one image and another / Bridgeman Images
